Replacing The SVGA Card

Important: Remove a SVGA card only if directed to do so by a Pinnacle Systems Customer Support
representative.
The SVGA card is installed in the AGP slot on the motherboard. The AGP slot is brown in color;
the PCI slots are ivory in color. Refer to Figure 5-1 for the SVGA card location, and Figure 5-7
for SVGA card identification.
Note: The workstation SVGA card may differ slightly from what is shown in Figure 5-7.
1. Shut down the computer and turn off the monitor.
Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting Shut Down (Start menu
>> Shut Down). Turn off the monitor after you are sure the computer has powered down.
Important: Do not attempt to open the computer while the computer is turned on. If you think the
computer is in sleep mode press the power button in front of the computer to wake it, and then shut
down the computer.
2. Remove all cables from the back of the computer, and let the computer cool down.
Unplugging the power cord and cables helps to ensure that no power is running on the
motherboard, which reduces the risk of damage to your equipment. Be sure to disconnect
the monitor's VGA cable (Figure 5-8).
