Installing the Card
To install your graphics accelerator card, follow these steps:
1
Switch off your computer and all external options (monitor,
printer, and others).
Then disconnect all cables from the back of
your computer. Unplug all power cables from the electrical source.
Note:
If you are disconnecting a peripheral from the computer or are
removing a component from the system board, wait 10 - 20 seconds
after disconnecting the computer from the electrical outlet before
disconnecting the peripheral or removing the component to avoid
possible damage to the system board. To verify that all power has
been removed from the system, make sure that the standby power
light-emitting diode (LED) on the system board has gone out
.
