 AGP/PCI Card
Procedure
Install an AGP video card in slot 1 only. Install either PCI or PCI-X cards in the slots 
labeled 2, 3, and 4. 
Warning:  When removing or installing a PCI or AGP card, handle it only by the edges. Do 
not touch its connectors or any of the components on the card. Lift the card straight out 
from the connector to remove it, and insert it straight into the connector to install it. Do not 
rock the card from side to side and don’t force the card into the slot. Once the replacement 
card is installed, pull on it gently to check that it is properly connected. 
1. Remove the screw that mounts the card to the enclosure.
2. If you are removing an AGP card, pull back the small locking clip at the front of the  AGP connector.
3. Holding the card by the top corners, gently pull up the card and remove it from its  expansion slot.
Replacement Note:  Align the card’s connector with the expansion slot and press until the 
connector is inserted all the way into the slot. If you’re installing a 12-inch card, make sure 
the card engages the appropriate slot in the PCI card guide.
• Don’t rock the card from side to side; instead, press the card straig\
ht into the slot. 
• Don’t force the card. If you meet a lot of resistance, pull the card \
out. Check the  connector and the slot for damage or obstructions, then try inserting th\
e card again.
• Pull the card gently to see if it is properly connected. If it resists a\
nd stays in place,  and if its gold connectors are barely visible, the card is connected.
