6.2 Steps:
1.
Turn OFF all powers to your system, including any
peripherals (printer, external drives, modem, etc.).
2.
Disconnect the power cord and the monitor cable from the
back of the computer.
3.
Unfasten the cover mounting screws on your system and
remove the system cover. Refer to your system user manual
for instructions to determine the location of the mounting
screws.
4.
Remove any graphics adapter that already installed on your
motherboard. Start by removing the screw that holds the
adapter retaining bracket in place (keep this screw, you will
need it later). Then, gently pull straight up on the adapter card
itself, and remove it from the motherboard.
5.
Refer to your computer system manual for the location of the
PCI bus expansion slots. Remove the retaining screw that
holds the slot cover in place. Slide the slot cover out and put
the screw aside (you will need it to secure the adapter).
If you just removed an existing graphics adapter and are not
going to use that expansion slot, you can install the slot cover
you just removed from the unused expansion slot to cover the
open hole.
6.
To install the adapter in the selected expansion slot, carefully
line up the gold-fingered edge connector on the adapter
directly above the expansion slot connector on the
motherboard. Then press the adapter into place, completely,
with necessary but minimum pressure. DO NOT USE
excessive force. Use the (remaining) screw you removed to
secure the adapter retaining bracket in place.
7.
Replace the computer cover. Secure the cover with the
mounting screws you removed in Step 3.
You have now completed the installation of your new graphics adapter
on your system.
