If you need a filler bracket, contact Dell.

NOTE:

Installing filler brackets over empty card-slot openings is necessary to maintain FCC certification of the

computer. Filler brackets also keep dust and dirt out of your computer.

5. Before you close the card retention door, ensure that:

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.

6. Close the card retention door by snapping it into place to secure the cards.

7. Replace the computer cover (see

Replacing the Computer Cover

).

8. Connect the computer and devices to electrical outlets, and then turn them on.

9. Uninstall the driver for that card.

To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before

removing the cover.

To avoid damage to the drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set the drive on a surface, such as a

foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.
