Removing or Installing an Add-in Card An add-in card is a circuit board, such as a PCI, PCI-E, or AGP card, that fits into a computer add-in card slot. Your computer contains several add-in card slots that can be used to add components to your computer. The computer component configurations vary by model. WARNING: Do not overload the computer by installing add-in cards that draw excessive current. The computer is designed to provide two amps (average) of +5 Vv power for each board/card in it. The total +5 Vv 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 two amps. You need a flat-head screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver to remove, replace, or add an add-in card. NOTE: A power supply upgrade may be required for certain graphics card upgrades. Check with the graphics card supplier for more information about power supply requirements. Upgrading and Servicing Guide 27

Removing or Installing an Add-in Card
An add-in card is a circuit board, such as a PCI, PCI-E, or AGP card, that fits into a
computer add-in card slot. Your computer contains several add-in card slots that can be
used to add components to your computer. The computer component configurations vary
by model.
You need a flat-head screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver to remove, replace, or add an
add-in card.
WARNING: Do not overload the computer by installing add-in cards that draw
excessive current. The computer is designed to provide two amps (average) of
+5 V
v
power for each board/card in it. The total +5 V
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 two amps.
NOTE:
A power supply upgrade may be required for certain graphics card upgrades.
Check with the graphics card supplier for more information about power supply
requirements.
