they do not catch on the enclosure when replacing the computer core.

the connector until it snaps into place.
11. Tilt the video card into the chassis so the video ports align with the oval opening in the

press the video riser card into place.
13. Install the three screws.
14. Reassemble and test the computer.

missing parts can damage the computer or cause injury.
