Adding or replacing add-in cards
An add-in card is a card used in the computer to add functionality to the system.
Use the following instructions to replace, add, or reseat an add-in card.
To replace, add, or reseat an add-in card:
1 Remove the side panel by following the instructions in “Removing the side
panel” on page 162.
2 For more stability, place your computer on its side. To avoid scratching
the case, place it on a towel or other non-abrasive surface.
3 If you are replacing a card, disconnect any cables that are attached to the
card, noting their locations and orientation. (You will reconnect the cables
after you install the new card.) See the add-in card documentation for
further instructions.
