CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the steps in "Safety Instructions."
CAUTION: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
Your Dell™ computer provides a connector for an AGP or DVI adapter card.
NOTE: The DVI adapter card works through your computer's integrated graphics. To control the
adapter through your operating system, click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then
click the driver's user-interface icon.
Shut down the computer through the Start menu.
Ensure that your computer and attached devices are turned off. If your computer and
attached devices did not automatically turn off when you shut down your computer,
turn them off now.
NOTICE: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then
unplug it from the network wall jack.
Disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.
Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets, and
then press the power button to ground the system board.
Remove the computer stand, if it is attached.

NOTICE: Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by touching an
unpainted metal surface, such as the metal at the back of the computer. While you work,
periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate any static electricity that could harm
internal components.
To add or replace the card, press the card lever toward the PCI connector and gently
press the card into the AGP connector until it clicks into place.
Release the card lever, ensuring that the tab fits into the notch on the front end of the
card.
Secure the card by lowering the hinged lever on the back panel.
Close the computer cover.
Attach the computer stand, if it is used.
NOTICE: To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network wall jack and then
plug it into the computer.
Connect your computer and devices to electrical outlets, and turn them on.
Connect the monitor cable to the card's video connector.
