Graphics card
On models with a discrete graphics card, the card sits under the side of the heat sink. Graphics card models
cannot include a hard drive.
To remove the graphics card:

2. Remove the base unit rear and front access panels (see Base unit access covers on page 17).
3. Move the fans aside (see Fans on page 27). You do not have to disconnect the fans from the computer to
remove the graphics card.

5. Remove the three larger screws (1) and two smaller screws (2) that secure the graphics card.
