Removing or Installing an
Add-In Card
An add-in card is a circuit board, such as a PCI or an
AGP card, that fits into a PC add-in card slot. Your PC
contains several add-in card slots that can be used to
add components to your PC. The PC component
configurations vary by model.
WARNING: Do not overload the system
by installing add-in cards that draw
excessive current. The system is designed
to provide 2 amps (average) of +5 V
power for each board/card in the
computer. The total +5 V current draw in
a fully loaded system (one with all add-in
card slots filled) must not exceed the total
number of slots multiplied by 2 amps.
A Phillips screwdriver is needed to remove, replace,
or add an add-in card.
