5. Gid Enstalasyon

5.1. Preparasyon

• Ensure your computer is powered off and disconnected from the main power source.
• Dechaje tout elektrisite estatik ki nan kò w lè w touche yon objè metal ki konekte ak tè a.
• Verify your power supply unit (PSU) meets the recommended wattage (e.g., 850W for some high-end GPUs) and has the necessary 6+2 pin or 16-pin (12VHPWR) PCIe power connectors.
• Consult your motherboard manual to identify the primary PCIe x16 slot, typically the top-most long slot, for optimal performance.
• Remove the necessary expansion slot covers from your PC case to accommodate the graphics card's display outputs.

5.2. Enstalasyon Fizik

1. Carefully align the graphics card's PCIe connector with the primary PCIe x16 slot on your motherboard.
2. Gently but firmly press the card into the slot until it is fully seated. You should hear a click as the locking mechanism on the motherboard engages.
3. Secure the graphics card to the PC case using the screws from the removed expansion slot covers.
