Removing and Installing Parts

5 Remove the filler bracket or existing card (see "Removing PCI and PCI Express Cards" on page 95) to

create a card-slot opening.

6 Prepare the card for installation.

See the documentation that came with the card for information on configuring the card, making
internal connections, or otherwise customizing it for your computer.

7 Position the card so that it is aligned with the slot and the securing tab (if present) is aligned with the

securing slot.

NOTE:

If the card is full length, insert the card guide into the alignment slot on the fan bracket.

NOTICE:

Ensure that you release the securing tab to seat the card. If the card is not installed correctly, you may

damage the system board.

8 Gently pull the securing tab (if present) and place the card in the connector. Press down firmly and

ensure that the card is fully seated in the slot.
