Installing System Components

5 Open the expansion-card latch and remove the filler bracket.

See Figure 3-11.

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
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.

6 Holding the card by its edges, position the card so that the card-edge

connector aligns with the expansion-card connector on the expansion-card
riser.

7 Insert the card-edge connector firmly into the expansion-card connector

until the card is fully seated.

8 Close the expansion-card latch. See Figure 3-11.
