Steps
1. Unpack the expansion card and prepare it for installation.
For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
2. Open the expansion card latch adjacent to the slot you want to install the expansion card.
3. Remove the existing expansion card or filler bracket from the expansion card holder.
NOTE: Store this bracket for future use. Filler brackets must be installed in 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.
4. Holding the card by its edges, position the card so that the card aligns with the expansion card connector.
5. Insert the card firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is fully seated.
6. Close the expansion card latch by pushing the latch up until the latch snaps into place.
7. Connect the data cables to the expansion card and/or the power cables to the GPU card.
