00:00:00.799 --> 00:00:08.000
so my customer care Department asked me to do a quick video because we've been

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:10.639
having some problems with 5800 and 5900

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.599
series video cards in shipping and shipping them with systems we've

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:18.920
actually witnessed a couple of situations where because the video card

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:24.320
has such a heavy cooler on it it can actually snap the PCI Express slot like

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:29.240
split it in two when the weight of the video card is is is put on it that way

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:33.800
so with some customers who are buying these video cards in cases that you know

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:38.160
we might not be able to pack as well we've we asking customers if they would

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:41.879
be comfortable if we Shi the system with no video card but otherwise completely

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.600
assembled and then ship the video card separately so I'm doing like just a

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.680
quick guide on how to install a video card if you've never done it before so

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:53.399
our team will prep everything for you so all you really have to do is make sure

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.559
that it's lined up with the correct slots here in the back and the correct

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:00.359
slot so it'll be a PCI Express 16x slot

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:05.840
which will look something like that and then you can take your 5800 series video

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:10.880
card just position it in exactly the right place so just line it up so that

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:17.040
the fingers at the bottom of the card are not under but rather directly into

00:01:13.479 --> 00:01:19.600
the PCI Express slot push down firmly

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:24.280
okay then what you'll need to do is if your case uses thumb screws then you'll

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:29.600
use the thumb screws to secure the two holes up at the top of the io plate so

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.600
one and then if you do not have thumb screws with your case then you'll need

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:37.600
to use a screwdriver to secure both of those screws this is what holds it in

00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:40.439
place and so you can see that I mean okay with the only things holding a

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:45.719
video card in place being these two screws and this plastic clip here it's

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.399
not exactly the most robust solution so you can see there's quite a bit of room

00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.680
to move there that's why they're proposing this and then the last thing

00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:56.719
that you'll need to make sure that you do is plug in the power connector or

00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:01.880
connectors which are either located at the back of the video card just like

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:05.880
that uh or on the top edge of the video card so you can see there's one clip on

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.640
the one side and I'm positioning it so that that clip plugs right into the

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.319
video card until it goes all the way in on both of them thank you for checking

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:20.239
out my quick video card installation guide for your reference that was a

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.239
