Installing PCI and PCI Express Cards
NOTICE:
To avoid electrostatic discharge and damage to internal components, ground yourself by using a wrist
grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
NOTICE:
If your computer came with a PCI graphics card installed, removal of the card is not necessary when
installing additional graphics cards; however, the card is required for troubleshooting purposes. If you remove the
card, store it in a safe and secure location.
NOTICE:
If you have or are upgrading to the optional dual-graphics configuration, see "Installing a PCI Express
Graphics Card in a Dual Configuration" on page 102 to install a graphics card.

upwards to gain full access to the card.
