Installing the graphics card

Caution: ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Breakdown
Static electricity could damage delicate components of the computer and the graphics
card. Discharge static electricity by touching metal parts of the computer prior to
installation. Do not touch electric parts or terminals.
Remove the old card or a bracket from an appropriate slot.
Caution: Burn
Internal parts may be hot if the computer has been turned on previously.
Install the graphics card in the slot firmly. Make sure it does not touch any part of the
computer.
Caution: Ventilation
Ensure the proper airflow for cooling the graphics card.
Install this graphics card in the slot where ambient temperatures are 55 degrees
C or lower.
Slot: Leave the adjacent slot or slot that is close to heat producing components open
if multiple slots are available to release heat around the card sufficiently.
Inadequate heat release could shorten the product lifetime or cause some troubles.
Dust: Dust inside the computer could restrict ventilation to cool off the card and result
in failure.
