1.
Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you
are going to use.
2.

add-on card into the expansion
slot. Ensure that the edge con-

To lock the graphics card into place,
simply insert the AGP card into the
AGP slot as you normally would and
then slide the lock to the left.
