Installing Accessories
Graphics Card
Chapter 2 35
• If your graphics card did not come with a separate graphics
retainer beam, you must use the retainer clip on the chassis beam
assembly to secure your graphics card. The retainer clip holds the
graphics card securely in the AGP slot:
a. Use the screw you removed the rear slot panel to attach the
graphics card to the chassis.
b. There are two universal retainer clips on the chassis beam
assembly (see Figure 2-15). The longer clip (A) is used for
shallower graphics cards. The shorter clip (B) is used for
deeper graphics cards. Remove the retainer clip you don’t need.
c. Move the remaining retainer clip to the center position shown
in Figure 2-15. If your graphics card is too shallow for the clip
to hold it tightly in this position, return it to the other arm.

5. Replace the chassis beam assembly (see page 23).
If your graphics card has a retainer beam, once the chassis beam
assembly is in place it looks like Figure 2-16.
Remove the
unused retainer
clip and move the
required retainer
clip to the center
position.
The retainer clip
keeps the graphics
board seated on
the system board
when the chassis
beam assembly is
installed.
