8. If replacing or adding a new expansion card, line the card up with the expansion
card slot and press firmly on the card so that the whole connector seats properly.
Slide the slot cover lock down to secure it in place. Store the old card in the anti-
static packaging that contained the new card.
9. If not replacing the old expansion card with a new card, insert the metal slot
cover in the opened slot and slide the slot cover lock down to secure the slot
cover in place.
CAUTION: After removing an expansion card, you must replace it with a new card or cover the
open slot at the rear of the computer (for example, with a metal slot cover or a piece of duct
tape) for proper cooling of internal components during operation.)
