Installing and Removing PCI Express x16 Graphics Cards Installing a PCI Express x16 Graphics Card CAUTION When installing a PCI Express add-in card, ensure that the card is fully seated in the PCI Express connector before you power on the system. If the card is not fully seated in the connector, an electrical short may result across the connector pins. Depending on the over-current protection of the power supply, certain Desktop Board components and/or traces may be damaged. CAUTION Before installing a PCI Express add-in card, make sure that it will not touch the processor heatsink. This might cause an electrical short and damage the graphics card and/or the desktop board. CAUTION Before installing a PCI Express add-in card, make sure that the tabs on the DIMM sockets are in the upright position (closed); otherwise, they may be damaged by the PCI Express card during installation.
