(2) Installing the graphics card
1Remove the cover of the computer. (See the computer instruction manual.)
Caution: ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Breakdown
Static electricity could damage delicate components of the computer and the
graphics card. Discharge static electricity by touching metal parts of the computer
prior to installation. Do not touch electric parts or terminals.
2Remove the old card or a bracket from an appropriate slot.
Caution: Burn
Internal parts may be hot if the computer has been turned on previously.
3Install the graphics card in the slot rmly. Make sure it does not touch any part of
the computer.
Caution: Ventilation
Ensure the proper airow for cooling the graphics card.
Install this graphics card in the slot where ambient temperatures are 35
degrees C or lower.
Slot: Leave the adjacent slot or slot that is close to heat producing components
open if multiple slots are available to release heat around the card suciently.
Inadequate heat release could shorten the product lifetime or cause some troubles.
Fan: Keep the computer's internal cables away from the cooling fan, or keep things
away that could get caught in the fan. (E.g., labels are easy to come o when
heated.) If the computer is used without the fan working, it could cause a failure.
Dust: Dust inside the computer could restrict ventilation to cool o the card and
result in failure.
