2) Gently disengage the over-molded DVI connector from the PCI Express graphics board
(Figure 5-40).
3) Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the 6-32 screw attaching the card’s retaining bracket
to the inner chassis (Figure 5-41).
4) Some PCI Express cards may have an auxiliary power connector. If so, disconnect it as
shown in Figure 5-42.
5) Gently pull the old card out.
6) Take the new/replacement PCI Express card and incorporate it into the system by performing the
steps described above in reverse order.
Note: Ensure that the tongue on the new/replacement card’s faceplate lines up with the slot in the
chassis (you may have to bend the tongue slightly in the case of a new card). In this system there
is no plastic latch holding the rear of the PCI Express card. The foam attached to the hinged inner
lid of the MaxPac will hold pressure to the back of the card when properly secured.
PCI Express Card (Primary)
In the case of a dual-screen MaxPac system, the graphics for both screens will be handled by the
Primary PCI Express card. By comparison, in the case of a triple-screen system, the center and right-
hand screens will be driven by the PCI Express card, while the left-hand screen will be driven by a
secondary PCI Express graphics card. This topic discusses the replacement of the Primary PCI
Express card.
