5 If you are removing the GPU permanently, install a filler bracket over the empty slot opening, and close the expansion card latch.
NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion card slot to maintain Federal Communications Commission
(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. The filler bracket is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
