Removing Add-In Cards

1

Disconnect any external and internal cables
attached to the card.

Remove the screw on the bracket of the card
you are replacing.

3

Hold the metal bracket and the far top
corner of the card. Carefully remove the
card by pulling the card straight out of the
expansion slot.

Replacing Add-In Cards

1

Insert the new card into the slot and push
straight down. Make sure the card is properly
seated.

2

Attach the screw to secure the card you have
replaced.

3

Connect any internal cables to the card.

n

Be careful of the
sharp edges on the
expansion slot cover.

n

Do not overload the
PC by installing
add-in cards that
draw excessive
current. The chassis is
designed to provide
2 amps (average) of
+5 V power for each
board or card in the
chassis. The total
+5 V current draw in
a fully loaded chassis
(one with all add-in
card slots filled) must
not exceed the total
number of slots
multiplied by 2 amps.
