How the students will be EVALUATED:

The student will demonstrate in a lab setting proper installation of a video card. The student will identify how a video card looks like. The student will identify which slot on the motherboard the video card will go onto. The student will properly install the video card and secure it. The student will have a working video card when the computer is turned on.

STEP 1: Get out the tools you'll need - Phillips screwdriver.	STEP 2: Ground yourself - static electricity can kill your computer.
STEP 3: Open your computer case - don't lose the screws or your placement.	STEP 4: Pick a card any card - so many choices how do we know which is a video card.
STEP 5: The video card is identified by locating the edge of the card and finding the 15 pin "D" connector (if the monitor fits it correct).	STEP 6: Now that we know what the video card is, we need to find the correct slot on the motherboard to place it in.
STEP 7: Take the card and place it firmly straight onto the slot, never rock and roll here.	STEP 8: To help the card from breaking off, you must screw it into place on the case.
STEP 9: Turn on the computer, get into the BIOS and configure it to read the video card correctly. If you got this far it HAS to be working!	STEP 10: Close your computer case - make sure everything goes back.
