2.2. Hardware Installation

Installing Your Graphics card.
Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install your graphics
accelerator card.

To install your graphics accelerator card:

1. Power off the computer and monitor, then

disconnect the display cable from the back
of your computer.

2. Remove the computer cover. If necessary,

consult your computer's manual for help
in removing the cover.

3. Remove any existing graphics card from

your computer.
Or, if your computer has any on-board
graphics capability, you may need to
disable it on the motherboard. For more
information, see you computer
documentation.
