Installing and Removing an AGP Card

CAUTION
When installing any AGP card in the desktop board, ensure that it is fully seated in the AGP
connector before you power on the system. If the card is not fully seated in the AGP connector, an
electrical short may result across the AGP slot pins. Depending on the over-current protection of
the power supply, certain board components and/or traces may be damaged.
The AGP connector supports 1.5 V (4x and 2x) AGP cards. The desktop board has an integrated
AGP card retention mechanism (RM).

Installing an AGP Card

Follow these instructions to install an AGP card:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 21.
2. Place the card in the AGP connector.
3. Press down on the card until it is completely seated in the AGP connector and the card
retention notch snaps into place around the RM pin.
4. Secure the card's metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.

Removing the AGP Card

Follow these instructions to remove the AGP card from the RM (see Figure 8):
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 21.
2. Remove the screw (B) that secures the card's metal bracket (A) to the chassis back panel.
3. Push back on the RM lever (C), as shown in Figure 8, until the retention pin completely clears
the notch in the card.
