Disconnecting power cables
Disconnect your computer and peripheral devices from the power sources.
Installing the graphics card
Remove the cover of the computer. (See the instruction manual for your computer.)
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.
2
Remove any existing graphics card(s), if any, and/or a bracket from the slot.
Caution: Burn
Internal parts may be hot if the computer has been turned on previously.
3
Install the graphics card in the slot on the computer firmly so that it does not touch
any part of the computer.
Caution: Ventilation
Ensure the proper airflow to cool the graphics card by, for example, leaving the
adjacent slot unoccupied. Keep the computer's internal cables away from the cooling
fan or keep things away that could get caught in the fan. (Labels are easy to peel off
when heated.)
Important: Using the graphics card without its fan working could cause a failure.

Secure the bracket to the chassis of the computer.
Note: If the bracket is not installed completely, the DVI cable cannot be inserted all
the way in. You can connect the DVI cable supplied with the display to the graphics
card first, and then secure it to the chassis.

When installing more than one LV22P2 cards, repeat the above steps until all cards
are installed.
Note: There is a limit to the number of the cards one computer can take depending
on the types of cards, operating systems, and display drivers. Do not exceed the
number limit.
