Installing PCI Expansion Cards
Before you install any expansion cards, be sure to follow these guidelines to protect your
computer:
Do not remove factory-installed cards from inside the computer. Removing a card
incorrectly can damage it and the computer. Contact technical support if you believe a
factory-installed card requires repair or replacement.
The combined power consumption of the expansion cards you install must not exceed
the limits of your computer. Refer to the documentation that came with your cards for
their power consumption rating and to ÒPower requirementsÓ on page 90 in this manual
for the power consumption limit for your computer.
Some cards may need to be installed by an authorized service provider. Refer to the
documentation that came with the card.
Removing the cover
Installing expansion cards requires that you remove the computerÕs cover. The cover is
designed for easy removal; no tools are required, although a small screwdriver or a small
coin may come in handy.
Required tools
A small regular (slot-head) screwdriver or a small coin
