Installing System Components


3 Remove the system-board assembly. See "Removing a System-Board

Assembly" on page 115.

4 Remove the three screws that secure the expansion-card assembly. See

Figure 3-10.

5 Lift the expansion-card assembly away from the system-board assembly.

See Figure 3-10.

6 Grasp the filler bracket by its edges, and carefully remove it from the

expansion-card connector. 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-cards 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 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 assembly.

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

connector until the card is fully seated.

9 Replace the screw securing the expansion card.
10 Place the expansion-card assembly into the system-board assembly.
11 Replace the three screws that secure the expansion-card assembly.
12 Install the system-board assembly. See "Installing a System-Board

Assembly" on page 116.

13 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn on the system,

including any attached peripherals.
