NOTE: Keep this bracket in case you need to remove the expansion card. Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion-card slots 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.
NOTE: Some NICs automatically start the system when they are connected to a network.
NOTICE: Do not route card cables over or behind the cards. Cables routed over the cards can prevent the system cover from closing properly or cause
damage to the equipment.
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to open the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. See
your System Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.
