Capabilities
To install an upgrade module onto the graphics controller,
complete the following steps:
1. If you have locked the Smart Cover Lock, use Computer
Setup to unlock the lock.
For more information about Computer Setup, refer to
Chapter 8, “Using Compaq Utilities.”
2. Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet, and remove the cover or side panel. If
upgrading a minitower computer, turn the computer on its
side.
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage the electronic com -
ponents of the computer or optional boards. Before beginning
these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Refer to
Appendix F for more information.

If you are upgrading the Matrox Millennium-II graphics
