5 Grip the edges of the expansion card with the fingers of both hands and

carefully work the card out of the expansion-card connector.

over the empty card-slot opening.

NOTE:

Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion-card slots to

maintain 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.

7 Replace the expansion-card retainer.
8 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 55.

Riser Card

The riser card provides two expansion-card slots. See "Expansion Cards" on
page 75 for detailed information on the e
xpansion-card slots.
