Installing an Expansion Board
To install an expansion board in the system, use the following steps.
1.
Remove the cover (see “Removing the Cover” earlier in this chapter).
2.
Follow any preinstallation instructions that come with the board.
3.
Remove the retainer bar that secures the expansion boards (see
“Removing the Retainer Bar”).
4.
If you need to remove an old expansion board from the connector
designated for the new board, see “Removing an Expansion Board.”
If a slot cover is in the slot, remove it (see “Removing a Slot Cover”).
Save the slot cover for future use.
5.
Hold the new expansion board by its edges or its bracket and insert it
into the expansion slot. If installing an AGP video board, lock the
board in place with the locking lever (see the following figure).
6.
Press the board firmly into the expansion slot connector on the
system board.
