Note:
Always handle a graphics card with care when adding or removing it from
your system.
•
Never twist or bend your card.
•
Avoid interference from the card's fan housing with mechanical hinges or clips
inside your system's chassis.
•
Make sure that the PCIe® card slot-locking mechanism on the motherboard is
unlocked or open before inserting or removing a card. Please consult your
motherboard manual for instructions, if necessary.
1.
Turn off your computer, monitor(s), and other peripheral devices.
2.
Unplug the computer's power cord, and then disconnect all cables from the back
of the computer.
Caution:
Wait approximately 20 seconds after unplugging the power cord before
disconnecting a peripheral cable or removing a component from the
motherboard to avoid possible damage to the motherboard.
3.
Remove the cover to your computer's case.
Note:
If necessary, consult your computer's manual for help in removing the
cover.
Caution:
Static electricity can seriously damage computer components. Discharge
your body's static electricity by touching the power supply or the metal
surface of the computer chassis before you touch any components inside
your computer's case to avoid damaging them.
4.
Unscrew or unfasten and remove any existing graphics card from your
computer, if necessary.
Caution:
Make sure the PCIe card slot-locking mechanism is unlocked or open before
