Dell PowerEdge R415 - Manual (Page 101)

Installing System Components 101
6 If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over
the empty expansion-card slot on the chassis.
NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion slot to
maintain Federal Communications Commission (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.
7 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 83.
Installing an Expansion Card
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is
not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that
came with the product.
1 Unpack the expansion card and prepare it for installation.
For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
2 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect
the system from the electrical outlet.
3 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 82.
4 Open the expansion-card latch and remove the filler bracket. See
Figure 3-12.
5 Holding the card by its edges, position the card so that the card-edge
connector aligns with the expansion-card connector on the expansion-card
riser.
6 Insert the card-edge connector firmly into the expansion-card connector
until the card is fully seated.
7 Replace the expansion-card latch. See Figure 3-12.
