Install the Adapter Cards
Expansion cards are installed into an appropriate
slot on the motherboard.
• Many video adapter cards require separate
power from the power supply using a 6-pin or
8-pin power connector.
• Installation Tip: Research the length of the
video card. Longer cards may not be
compatible with certain motherboards. Some
adapter cards may come with mounting
brackets of different heights to accommodate
these cases.
• Installation Tip: Some cases have small slots
at the bottom of the hole where the cover was
removed. Slide the bottom of the mounting
bracket into this slot before seating the card.
