Installing a New Video Card
1. Prepare to fit the video card into the slot by holding it at about a 30° angle (Figure 11e).

allow the card to fit securely (Figure 11f)

4. DO NOT attempt to push one end of the card in ahead of the other.
5. The card’s pin alignment will allow it to only fit one way. Make sure the module is seated as far into the socket
as it will go. DO NOT FORCE the card; it should fit without much pressure.
6. Secure the card with screws & (Figure 10 on page 2 - 15).
