metal backplate cover(s). Make sure all internal cables are clear of the slot.
Note: If you cannot find a bus slot to match the card, you need a graphics
card with the correct bus to match the motherboard.
6. Align the graphics card with the slot and press it in firmly until the card is
fully seated.
7. If your card requires supplementary power and must be connected directly
to the power supply, locate the appropriate power connector cable(s) from
the power supply and connect it (or them) to the graphics card's
supplementary power connector(s).
Note: If applicable, before installing a card that requires a supplementary
power connection, make sure your existing power supply has such a
connection available.
Tip: The location of power connections may vary between models. They
can be located on either the side or back of the card.
