5. If the card you are installing is configured by the

means of jumpers or switches, check that it is
correctly configured before proceeding.

6. When installing a card that uses the VFC/AMC

video feature connector on the motherboard, it
is best to plug the video feature cable into the
motherboard before you install the card;
otherwise, the card may get in the way of the
connector. See the

Motherboard Features &

Upgrades

chapter to locate the VFC/AMC

connector.

Caution

Be careful how you use the AMC connector. Some
pins carry +5 V power which could damage the
expansion card if it is incorrectly attached.

7. Position the expansion card alongside the slot in

which you wish to install it. Align the rear of the
card with the slot in the rear of the system unit,
and, if the card is full length, align the front of
the card with the card guide.

8. Slide the card into the slot ensuring that the

card edge connector engages correctly with the
socket on the riser board. Do not use excessive
force.

9. Secure the card by replacing the screw or the

security loop panel that you removed in Step 4.

10. Connect any necessary signal cables to the card.

11. Ensure no other cables or connectors have

become dislodged, then replace the system unit
cover.
