6 If you are removing the card permanently, install a filler bracket in the

empty card-slot opening.

NOTE:

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.

7 Replace the card retention bracket, ensuring that:

The guide clamp is aligned with the guide notch.

The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment bar.

The notch in the top of the card or filler bracket fits around the
alignment guide.

8 Fix the card retention bracket by replacing and tightening the screw.
