Important
If you install a large and heavy
y
graphics card, you need to use a
tool such as MSI Gaming Series
Graphics Card Bolster to support its
weight and to prevent deformation
of the slot.
When adding or removing
y
expansion cards, always turn off the
power supply and unplug the power
supply power cable from the power
outlet. Read the expansion card' s
documentation to check for any
necessary additional hardware or
software changes.
