Installing an expansion card
Prerequisites
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.
Steps
1. Open the expansion card retention latch.
2. Remove the existing expansion card or filler bracket from the slot.
NOTE: Store this bracket for future use. Filler brackets must be installed in empty expansion-card slots to maintain FCC
certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow
inside the system.
3. Holding the card by its edges, align the card with the expansion card connector on the system board.
4. Insert the card firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is firmly seated.
5. Close the expansion card retention latch by pushing the latch down until the latch snaps into place.
