Installing an expansion card into the expansion card riser
Prerequisites
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions.
2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system.
3. If installing a new expansion card, unpack it and prepare the card for installation.
NOTE: For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
Steps
1. Pull and lift up the expansion card retention latch lock to open.
2. Hold the card by the edges, and align the card edge connector with the expansion card connector on the riser.
3. Insert the card edge connector firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is fully seated.
4. Rotate and close the card holder and side card holder.
5. Push the side holder and make sure the latch hook holds the riser cover.
NOTE: Store the filler bracket for future use. Filler brackets must be installed in empty expansion card slots to maintain
Federal Communications Commission (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.
