NOTE 2 How to Install Accessories In Your PC Installing Accessory Boards Installing the Board 1 Disconnect the computer's power supply cord and any connection to a telecommunications network. 2 Remove the computer's cover and power supply. 3 Find a free slot. Some boards may have preferred locations and special installation instructions detailed in their manuals. Your PC may have a small terminator board installed in a PCI slot. You must remove this board before installing any PCI accessory boards. 4 Unscrew and remove the slot cover. Store it in a safe place. If the slot cover is tight, loosen the screws on the adjacent slots. (See diagram on facing page.) 5 Hold the board horizontally by its "top" edge. Slide it into the board guide of the chosen slot. Do not bend the board. (See diagram on facing page.) 6 Align the board's connector with the slot's socket and firmly press into the socket. Ensure the board's connector engages completely with the socket and does not touch components on other boards. 7 Secure the board by replacing the slot cover screw. If you loosened the screws on adjacent slots, tighten them. (See diagram on facing page.) 8 If you install a VESA-standard video adapter board, connect the accessory board's cable to the VESA pass-through connector on the system board. If you have a Matrox Millennium video board, connect the cable to the VESA connector on the Matrox board (refer to page 27). You may also need to update the Video Submenu (Configuration group) of the HP Setup program (refer to page 66). 9 Install any other accessories before replacing the power supply and the cover. Reconnect all cables and power cords. 36 English
