.

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.

NOTICE:

Before rotating the card retainer back into place, ensure that the tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush

with the alignment bar and the notch in the top of each card or filler bracket fits around the alignment guide.

NOTICE:

Do not route card cables over or behind the cards. Cables routed over the cards can prevent the computer

cover from closing properly or cause damage to the equipment.
