Installing the expansion card
Prerequisites
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
2. Follow the procedure that is listed in Before working inside your system.
Steps
1. Unpack the expansion card and prepare it for installation.
NOTE: For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
2. Remove the expansion card or filler bracket from the expansion card holder.
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.
