Installing Or Replacing An Accessory Card - HP Kayak xu700 User Manual

NOTE

Installing or Replacing an Accessory Card

Your HP Kayak has five 32-bit 33 MHz PCI (PCI 2.2) accessory card slots
and one AGP PRO slot on the system board.
Minitower models support the following AGP graphics cards:
• 1.5V AGP graphics cards ( 25W)
• 1.5V AGP PRO graphics cards ( 50W)
The minitower does not support high power (>50W) AGP PRO and AGP 3.3
graphics cards.
To install or replace an accessory card, complete the following steps:
1 Switch off the display and PC Workstation. Disconnect all power cables
and any LAN or telecommunications cables.
2 Remove the PC Workstation's cover (refer to page 25 for instructions).
4 If you are installing a new accessory card, unscrew and remove the slot
panel. Store it in a safe place. If the slot cover is tight, loosen the screws
on the adjacent slots.
If you are replacing an existing accessory card, remove any cables
connected to the accessory card. Remove the screw that holds the old
card in place and carefully pull it out.
Some cards may have preferred locations and special installation
instructions detailed in their manuals.
5 Aligning the new card carefully, slide it into position, then press it firmly
into the slot and tighten the retaining screw.
6 If you are installing an AGP graphics card, you might need to adjust the
special card retaining mechanism (if fitted) to firmly hold your card in
place during transit and normal operation.
