Turn off your computer, disconnect the power cord, and remove any existing graphics card(s).

[!] Attention: It is very important to wait until the graphics card has cooled before removing it from the system.

Step 2: Prepare the Slot

Remove two adjacent slot covers that correspond to the PCI Express slot you are installing the graphics card in.
