4 If you are removing the card permanently, install a filler bracket in the empty card-slot

opening.
If you need a filler bracket, contact Dell (see

page 108

Installing filler brackets over empty card-slot openings is necessary to maintain FCC certification

of the computer. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of your computer.

To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network device and then plug it into

the computer.
