!Attention: Static electricity can severely damage electronic
components. Take the following precautions when installing your new
NVIDIA RTX graphics card:
>Before touching any electronic parts, discharge the static electricity
from your body by touching the internal metal frame of your system
while it is unplugged.
>Do not remove your card from the packaging until you are ready to
install it. Whenever you remove a card from your system, always place
it back in the packaging.
>Do not allow clothing or jewelry touch any electronic parts.
>When handling your graphics card, hold it by the edges and avoid
touching any circuitry or the PCIe connector.

1 Remove the current graphics driver installed on the host system.
2 Power down your system.
3 Unplug the power cord from the AC power source.
4 Remove the side panel from your system to gain access to the
motherboard.

5 Remove the existing graphics card if present. If a retention bar is
holding the card in place, remove the screw securing the card. OR,
if there is no existing graphics card, remove the access covers from
the primary x16 PCI Express slot.
The RTX 6000, RTX 5000, RTX 4500, and
RTX 4000 SFF are dual-slot GPUs and will
require removing two adjacent slot covers.
The RTX 4000 is a single slot card and
will only require a single-slot.

6 Install the card into the primary x16 PCI Express slot.
Press gently on the card until it is seated securely in the slot
and reattach the graphics card bracket retention mechanism.
Install the graphics card
into the primary x16 PCI
Express slot. The RTX 6000,
RTX 5000, RTX 4500, and
RTX 4000 SFF are dual-slot
GPUs and will cover the
adjacent slot. The RTX 4000
is a single-slot card.

7 Secure the card to the system frame using the screw(s)
removed in step 5.
8 Connect the auxiliary power cable from the power supply to the
16-pin PCIe CEM5 connector on the back edge of the RTX 6000,
RTX 5000, RTX 4500, or RTX 4000. Note that the RTX 4000 SFF
does not use a power cable.
For RTX 6000, RTX 5000, and
RTX 4500, connect two separate
PCI Express 8-pin cables from
the system power supply to the
NVIDIA Dual PCI Express 8-pin
power adapter as necessary.
