down on the heat sink. Doing so may damage the card
and/or computer. Excessive force is not needed to seat the

tion as the older card that you just removed. In most cases
this is with the heat sink towards the Power Supply. The
connector is designed to fit only one way.
•Holding the card by the edges (do not depress the heat
sink), align the connector end of the card with the CPU
card slot. Then, insert into the connector without twisting
or rocking.
• You may feel the card going into the slot in two stages: the
first row of contacts slides in, and then the second row. Be
sure that you push the card all the way into the slot.
• When the card is properly installed, you cannot see any of
the gold contacts.
