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

them on.
