Installing a New Video Card
1. Prepare to fit the video cards & into the slot by holding it at about a 30° angle (page 2 - 10).
2. The card needs to be fully into the slot, and the video card and socket have a guide-key and pin which align to
allow the card to fit securely (
Figure 7h).
3.
Fit the connectors firmly into the socket, straight and evenly (Figure 7h).
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 (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 5 on page 2 - 9).
7.
Place the heat sink back on the card, and secure the screws in the order indicated in Figure 5 on page 2 - 9.
8.
Attach the video card fan and secure with the screws as indicated in Figure 5 on page 2 - 9.
9.
Reinsert the component bay cover, and secure with the screws as indicated in Figure 14 on page 2 - 18.
