Installing Adapter Cards - IBM Aptiva Hardware Handbook

Installing adapter cards

Before you install an adapter card, you must remove
the system unit cover. For instructions, see page 81.
For some hardware changes, you may need to remove
preinstalled adapter cards. If these adapter cards have
cables attached, disconnect them. (Be sure to notice
where the cables connect to the cards. You will need to
reattach the cables when you reinstall the adapter
cards.)
To install an adapter card:
1.
Remove the screw and then the adapter card slot
cover.
