Installing A Video Adapter Card - IBM Aptiva Hardware Handbook

Installing a video adapter card

Before you install an adapter card, you must remove
the system unit cover. For instructions, see page 81.
For some hardware changes, you may need to remove
preinstalled adapter cards. If these adapter cards have
cables attached, disconnect them. (Be sure to notice
where the cables connect to the cards. You will need to
reattach the cables when you reinstall the adapter
cards.)
To upgrade your video controller, you must move the
video jumper before installing a video adapter card. This
jumper is labeled on your system board as J15.
To move the jumper, do the following:
1.
Locate the jumper.

2.
Lift the jumper from its current position (this could
be Position 1 or Position 2). If the jumper is cur-
rently in Position 1, move it to Position 2. If the
jumper is currently in Position 2, move it to Posi-
tion 1. See the example.
