installing AGP video cards: STEP 3

 
 

STEP THREE: Choose an expansion slot

Plugging your graphics card into an incorrect slot could damage the card, your computer, or both. Do not try to force a card into a slot that does not accommodate it, as it is probably the wrong slot.

Pick the appropriate slot that you are going to use for the video card.

Most computers have a combination of AGP, PCI and ISA expansion slots. AGP slots are usually made from plastic of a contrasting brown color (beige color), and are shorter than other slots in your computer. PCI slots are usually white in color. Install your PCI card into the topmost open white slot. Your system manual should identify the AGP or PCI slots, as appropriate for your model.

When inserting the new card, move any cables out of the way. Position the card over the slot, with connection facing the back of the computer.
