Replacing a PCI/PCI Express Card
7 Press the securing tab (if present) on the system board connector as you
grasp the card by its top corners, and then ease the card straight out of the
connector.
8 Install a filler bracket in the empty card-slot opening. If you are replacing
the card, see "Installing Graphics Cards for Multi Graphics Card" on
NOTE:
Installing filler brackets over empty card-slot openings is necessary to
maintain FCC certification of the computer. The brackets also keep dust and
dirt out of your computer.
NOTE:
The graphics card bridge (not present in all multi-graphics
configurations) is not necessary in a single graphics card configuration.
CAUTION:
Do not route card cables over or behind the cards. Cables routed over
the cards can prevent the computer cover from closing properly or cause damage
to the equipment.
9 Replace the PCI card fan shroud, replace the computer cover (see
"Replacing the Computer Cover" on page 17), reconnect the computer
and devices to electrical outlets, and then turn them on.
