Your PC contains several add-in card slots that can be used to add components to your PC. The PC component configurations vary by model. WARNING: Do not overload the system by installing add-in cards that draw excessive current. The system is designed to provide 2 amps (average) of +5 V power for each board/card in the computer. The total +5 V current draw in a fully loaded system (one with all add-in card slots filled) must not exceed the total number of slots multiplied by 2 amps. A Phillips screwdriver is needed to remove, replace, or add an add-in card. 4 Inside the PC, locate the add-in card slots on the motherboard. WARNING: Be careful of the sharp edges on the add-in card slot cover. 5 Remove the slot cover. Or Holding the card at each end, carefully rock it back and forth until the connectors pull free from the socket, and then remove the card. Be sure not to scrape the card against the other components. Store the old card in the anti-static packaging that contained your new card. Upgrading and Servicing Guide 7
