The combined power consumption of installed cards must not exceed
the limits specified for your computer. If you have more than one card
installed, check the information that came with your cards to make
sure that their power consumption is within the limits specified in
Appendix C: Specifications.
Some cards may need to be installed by a qualified service provider.
Check the information that came with the card to see if this is neces-
sary. If you are uncomfortable working inside your computer, you may
prefer to have a service provider install the card even if their assis-
tance is not required.
