Installing a Graphics (UPA) Card

1. Use the procedures described in "Removing a Board" to remove the applicable Graphics+ I/O board.

2. Attach a wrist strap and take the graphics (UPA) card out of the protective packaging and place the card on an antistatic mat.

   Inspect the pins in the connector to make sure they are not bent.

3. Remove the adapter bracket from the rear panel of the card.

   See Figure 4-13. Remove the two screws securing the adapter to the card rear panel (the adapter bracket and the screws are not needed for this installation).

4. Remove the black plastic card retainer shipped with the card.

   See Figure 4-14. Spread the ends of the retainer apart to remove it from the card (the retainer is not needed for this installation).

5. Locate the graphics (UPA) connector for the card.

   See Figure 4-18.

6. If a filler panel covers the Graphics+ I/O board front panel slot for the graphics (UPA) card, remove the two screws and detach the filler panel.

   Retain the screws to attach the graphics (UPA) card to the front panel, unless the card has a wide connector, or set of connectors.

7. Unlock the tip inserts for the two standoffs for the graphics (UPA) connector slot.

   See Figure 4-11.

8. Hold the card at an angle as depicted in Figure 4-19. Guide the card face plate under the springfingers and against the rear face of the Graphics+ I/O board front panel.

   The I/O connectors of the card should be visible through the opening in the Graphics+ I/O board front panel once the card is properly positioned.

9. Hold the card by the edges nearest the graphics (UPA) connector and place the card over the two standoffs.

10. Hold the card by the edges near the connector and firmly but gently press the card down until the connector is fully seated.

    To align the connector and socket, push the card toward the Graphics+ I/O board front panel.
