Installing a New Video Card
1. Prepare to fit the video card into the slot by holding it at about a 30° angle (Figure 21e).

Fit the connectors firmly into the socket, straight and evenly.

as it will go (none of the gold colored contact should be showing). DO NOT FORCE the card; it should fit without
much pressure.
6. Secure the card with screws & (Figure 21 on page 2 - 25).
