Removing an Expansion Card

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.

1 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the

system from the electrical outlet.

2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 67.
3 Disconnect any internal or external cable(s) that are connected to the

expansion card.

4 Open the expansion-card retainer adjacent to the slot. See Figure 3-15.
5 Grasp the expansion card and carefully remove it from the socket

connector.

6 If you are permanently removing the card, replace the metal filler bracket

over the empty card-slot opening.

NOTE:

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.

7 Close the expansion-card retainer. See Figure 3-15.
8 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 68.
