12 Installing the Hardware and Software
Installing the Hardware
Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to
install your card. If you are not sure whether your card is PCI or
AGP, compare the bottom edge of your card with the following
illustration:
Turn off the power to your system, and discharge your body’sstatic
electric charge by touching a grounded surface — for example, the
metal surface of the power supply — before performing any
hardware procedure.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused
directly or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by
unauthorized service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable
performing the installation, consult a qualified computer technician.
Damage to system components, the accelerator card, and injury to
yourself may result if power is applied during installation.

Or, if your computer has any on-board graphics
capability, you may need to disable it on the motherboard.
For more information, see your computer documentation.
If necessary, remove the metal cover from the empty
expansion slot that you select (PCI cards use a PCI slot;
AGP cards use the AGP slot), then align your new card
with an empty expansion slot, and press it in firmly
until fully seated.
