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 Identify your computer case style. For more information, see “Identifying
your computer case style” on page 106.
2 Open the case by following the instructions in “Opening the case” on
page 107.
3 For more stability, place your computer on its side. To avoid scratching
the case, place it on a towel or other non-abrasive surface.
4 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.
