NOTE Installing or Replacing Parts and Accessories Graphics Card Graphics Card Removing a Graphics Card You can uninstall the driver for the old graphics card before installing a new graphics card. This keeps you from getting a warning when the old driver tries to load in the operating system. To remove a graphics card: 1. Turn off the display and shut down the Workstation. Disconnect all power cables and any LAN or telecommunications cables. 2. Remove the Workstation's cover (see page 145). 3. Remove any cables connected to the graphics card on the rear panel. 4. To ease installation, place the Workstation on its side with the system board facing upwards. 5. Rotate the hard disk drive cage to the open position (see page 149). 6. Remove the chassis beam assembly (see page 152). 7. Before removing the graphics card: • If your graphics card came with a separate graphics retainer beam as shown in Figure 10-14 on page 164: a. Remove the screw that attaches the graphics card and the graphics retainer beam to the rear slot panel. b. Remove the full-length graphics card retaining screw. • If your graphics card did not come with a separate graphics retainer beam, remove the retaining screw as shown in Figure 10-12 on page 163. 8. Carefully pull out the card. 9. Store the card in a static bag. 162 Chapter 10
