PART SIX - Insert the Cards

  

  

The Video Card : Remove the card from it's packaging. Find the location of the AGP slot on your motherboard (Usually Brown and last port to the right of the board, refer to your manual for further help in locating it), clear the blanking plate that prevents the video cards exit from  the system and then insert the card firmly into place. Use one screw from the plate to secure the Video Card into Place. Video Card Pictured below.

The Sound Card : Remove the card from it's packaging. Find the location of the PCI slot on your motherboard (There is usually 4 or 5 of these connectors on the motherboard, refer to your manual for help if need be, but the card can go into any of these identical slots), clear the blanking plate that prevents the sound cards exit from  the system and then insert the card firmly into place. Use one screw from the plate to secure the Sound Card into Place. Sound Card Pictured below.

The Modem Card : Remove the card from it's packaging.

NOTE : SOME CARDS USE ISA SLOTS, BUT MOST NEW MOTHERBOARDS NO LONGER HAVE THESE CONNECTIONS, AND  NO NEW CARDS BEING RELEASED WILL USE THE ISA TECHNOLOGY NO MORE, IT HAS BECOME DATED.

ALSO ANY CD'S OR MANUAL THAT ARE IN ANY OF THE PACKAGING PLACE INTO THE MOTHERBOARD BOX. THIS MAKES THEM EASY TO FIND
