Installing and Removing an AGP Card
CAUTION
When installing an AGP card on the desktop board, ensure that the card is fully seated in the
connector before you power on the system. If the card is not fully seated in the connector, an
electrical short may result across the connector pins. Depending on the over-current protection of
the power supply, certain desktop board components and/or traces may be damaged.
Installing an AGP Card
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 23.
2. Place the card in the AGP connector (Figure 16, A) and press down on the card until it is
completely seated in the connector and the card retention notch snaps into place around the
retention mechanism pin on the connector.
3. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw (Figure 16, B).
