CONNECT A MONITOR

CONNECTING A DISPLAY TO THE GRAPHICS CARD

GRAPHICS CARD INSTALLATION

1. Power OFF the computer. Unplug the cable(s) connected to the system, and remove any existing discrete graphics card(s).

2. Remove the system case cover and locate the PCI Express x16 slot on the motherboard. Please refer to your motherboard specifications.

3. Remove the expansion slot cover(s) for the available slot(s) where the graphics card will be installed.

4. Insert the card firmly into the expansion slot. Secure the graphics card using the system case screw(s).

5. Connect any required PCI-E power cable(s) from the system power supply to the graphics card. Power requirements may vary by graphics card model.
   NOTE: If the graphics card requires more than one 8-pin power cable, it is recommended to use separate 8-pin cables to maintain voltage stability.

6. Replace the system case cover and reconnect the system power cable.

SAFETY

1. Before playing video games
   Make sure that the room is well illuminated and lighting is adjusted to the brightness of the monitor. Keep a suitable distance from the display monitor.

2. Static electricity precautions
   Do not take the graphics card out of the original static electricity protection package until you are ready to install it. Before installing, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible, or discharge static electricity by touching the bare metal surface of the system chassis. Carefully hold the graphics card by its rear bracket, and avoid touching the “gold finger” PCB edge connector unless it is necessary.

3. Turn off the system power before installing the graphics card
   Turn off the AC main power to the system, by the AC main power switch or by detaching the AC power cord. Damage to the graphics card or the system components, or injury to you may result if power is turned on during the installation. Please consult a qualified technician if necessary. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or indirectly, by improper installation by unauthorized service personnel.

4. Electrical Safety
   Each graphics card requires a power supply that meets or exceeds a minimum wattage and/or PCIe connectors. High-end graphics cards may feature higher power consumption. Make sure that separate power cables are used on high power draw graphics cards and your power supply is set to the correct voltage for your region.

5. Operation Safety
   Do not touch the card or block the fans from running while in operation to reduce the risk of injury. Parts such as the backplate and heatsink can be hot to the touch under heavy load. Allow at least 5 minutes to pass after powering down to make sure all components have cooled down for safe handling.

6. Trigger Warning: Photosensitive epilepsy
   Extremely pronounced lighting effects such as fast image changes, repetitions of simple geometric shapes, flashes of light may induce epileptic fits or blackouts in some persons. Even persons with no previous known tendency to epilepsy may be in danger. If you or a member of your family has been diagnosed as prone to epilepsy, please consult your physician before playing the video game. Parents should monitor their children carefully when they play video games. Stop playing immediately if the following symptoms are detected: nausea, vision disturbance, muscle tension or cramps, orientation problems, involuntary movements, or brief loss of consciousness.
