Removing and Installing Parts

6 If you are removing the card permanently, install a filler bracket in the

empty card-slot opening.

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.

7 Fix the card retention bracket by pressing it down.

NOTICE:

To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network device

and then plug it into the computer.

8 Replace the card retention bracket, ensuring that:

The guide clamp is aligned with the guide notch.

The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment bar.

The notch in the top of the card or filler bracket fits around the
alignment guide.

9 Replace the computer cover, reconnect the computer and devices to

electrical outlets, and then turn them on.

10 Remove the card’s driver from the operating system.

a

Enter system setup (see "System Setup" on page 172), go to Onboard
Devices and select Integrated Audio, and then change the setting to On.

b

Connect external audio devices to the audio connectors on the back
panel of the computer (see "Back Panel Connectors" on page 19).
