Working with adapter cards and drives
To work with the hardware components in the tower,
you must first unplug the system and remove the tower
cover. If you have not removed the cover from your
tower, see “Opening the tower” on page 61.
If you plan to add or replace both an adapter card and a
drive, install the drive before you install the adapter
card. If you also plan to make hardware changes on the
system board, see “Chapter 6: Working with system
board components” on page 63 and finish your work
with the system board before continuing to work with
drives and adapter cards.
To add or remove adapter cards or drives in the tower,
complete the instructions in the following sections:
• “Identifying the parts of the tower” on page 78
• “Adding and removing adapter cards” on page 80
• “Adding and removing drives” on page 84
• “Updating the Setup Utility” on page 95
