Installing an AGP Card
CAUTION
When installing an AGP card, press the card straight down into the AGP connector. Allowing the
card to slide forward or backward even a little during installation can damage the pins of the AGP
socket.
Follow these instructions to install an AGP card if it has a retention notch.
1. Carefully position the card squarely over AGP connector. Press down on the card until it is
completely seated in the AGP connector and the card retention notch snaps into place around
the retention mechanism’s pin (D).
2. If the card has a metal bracket (B) as shown Figure 5, secure the card’s metal bracket to the
chassis back panel with a screw (A).
Removing the AGP Card from the Retention Mechanism
Follow these instructions to remove the AGP card from the retention mechanism:
1. Remove the screw (A) that secures the card’s metal bracket (B) to the chassis back panel.
2. Push back on the retention mechanism lever (C) until the retention pin (D) completely clears
the notch in the card.
3. Pull the card straight up (E).
