How would I plug in my Nvidia 7800GS OC AGP into a Fujutsu Siemens Scaleo 600?

Question

I want to know how I would go about opening the Tower and plugging in the card.

Answer 1

The Scaleo has a x4 AGP Port

You unplug the tower from the mains....

Undo the screws from the back of the PC and open the Case..

Earth Yourself...by touching the case of your tower (to reduce static build-up)

(if you don't already have a card in there....then you have the On-Board Video on....which you disable in BIOs after you put in the 7800 Gs)

If you see a card already in there....then you unclip the card (there's a small clip at the back of the AGP Port)

Afterwards you slowing put in the 7800Gs...in the same way..make sure you line the pins up the right way...don't force it in...it should automaticaly clip in...

Then put the case back on....and Restart the PC

(if you had on-board video..then Press F2 at start-up...go into BIOs and disable the On-Board Video)

Once your into windows install the latest drivers from the CD...

although its better to install the drivers from the Nvidia site as the ones on the disk will be older

Only thing is that the Card uses a x8 AGP, so you won't get the full performance as your AGP Port is x4

Hope that helps

It has a Video Card: VGA AGP ATI Radeon9600 256MB ViV AGP 8X graphics processor:

Uninstall ATI software. ATI has an uninstaller utility on their website. Shut down computer, open up case, remove the ATI AGP ATI Radeon9600, replace with Nvidia AGP card, restart and install Nvidia Video Card software.

Answer 3

your p.c has a a.g.p slot so you need to open the case and you will find the a.g.p slot around the middle of the motherboard,its a brown or orange slot with a white clip at one end,simply insert the card gently into the slot until the white clip locks into place,replace the case and boot up your p.c
once the p.c boots up,install your drivers that came with the card or go to http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp,and download the latest drivers
finally i would like to congratulate you on a excellent choice of graphic card,i am upgrading from a geforce 6600 to a geforce 7900gt next month,i cant wait
good luck
