Installing or replacing the
graphics card

Your computer has either a graphics card installed or a spacer
(a placeholder for the graphics card slot) installed. If the spacer
is installed, your computer’s system board provides the
graphics abilities for your system.

To install or replace the graphics card:

1

Open the back panel by following the instructions in

“Opening and closing the case” on page 46

. The

computer should be face-down on a soft, stable,
non-marring surface before continuing.

2

If the computer has been running within the last few
minutes, allow the graphics card cool down for about
five minutes before continuing.

3

Remove the two screws that secure the graphics card or
graphics card spacer to the computer.

Tools

• Phillips screwdriver

Warning

The graphics card may be extremely hot. Touching the graphics

card while hot may result in physical injury. Allow the graphics card to
cool before continuing.
