so my customer care department asked me to do a quick video because we've been having some problems with 50 850 900 series video cards and shipping in shipping them with systems we've actually witnessed a couple of situations where because the video card has such a heavy cooler on it it can actually snap the PCI Express slot like split it into when the weight of the video card is is is put on it that way so with some customers who are buying these video cards and cases that you know we might not be able to pack as well we've were asking customers if they would be comfortable if we ship the system with no video card but otherwise completely assembled and then ship the video card separately so I'm doing like just a quick guide on how to install a video card if you've never done it before so our team will prep everything for you so all you really have to do is make sure that it's lined up with the correct slots here in the back and the correct slot so it'll be a PCI Express 16x slot which will look something like that and then you can take your 5800 series video card just position it in exactly the right place so just line it up so that the fingers at the bottom of the card are not under but rather directly into the PCI Express slot push down firmly okay then what you'll need to do is if your case uses thumb screws then you'll use the thumb screws to secure the two holes up at the top of the i/o plate so one and then if you do not have thumb screws with your case then you'll need to use a screwdriver to secure both of those screws this is what holds it in place and so you can see that I mean okay with the only things holding a video card in place being these two screws and this plastic clip here it's not exactly the most robust solution so you can see there's quite a bit of room to move there that's why they're proposing this and then the last thing that you'll need to make sure that you do is plug in the power connector or connectors which are either located at the back of the video card just like that or on the top edge of the video card so you can see there's one clip on the one side and I'm positioning it so that that clip plugs right into the video card until it goes all the way in on both of them thank you for checking out my quick video car installation guide for your reference that was a power color 5830 that I installed
