Removing An Expansion Card - Dell PowerEdge 4200 Installation And Troubleshooting Manual

See the documentation that came with the expansion
card for information on configuring the card, making
internal connections, or otherwise customizing the
card for the system.
3. Unscrew and remove the metal filler bracket that
covers the card-slot opening for the expansion
slot you intend to use.
4. If the expansion card is full-length, check that the
locking cam on the corresponding locking card
guide is in the raised or "unlocked" position.
Insert the end of the expansion card in the card
guide slot and lower the card into the chassis.
5. Insert the card-edge connector firmly into the
expansion-card connector on the chassis.
6. When the card is firmly seated in the connector
and the card-mounting bracket is flush with the
brackets on either side of it, secure the bracket
with the screw you removed in step 3.
If the expansion card is full-length, close the locking
cam on the card guide to secure the card.
7. Connect any cables that should be attached to the
card.
See the documentation that came with the card for
information about cable connections.
8. Replace the left computer cover, and then recon-
nect the computer and peripherals to their power
sources and turn them on.
9. Start the EISA Configuration Utility and add the
new expansion card to the configuration.
See Chapter 5, "Using the EISA Configuration Util-
ity," in the User's Guide for instructions.
NOTE: If you installed a PCI expansion card, the
system automatically performs any required PCI
configuration tasks during the boot routine.

Removing an Expansion Card

Follow this general procedure to remove an expansion
card:
1. If you are relocating or removing an ISA
expansion card permanently, start the EISA
Configuration Utility and delete the expansion
card from the configuration.
See Chapter 5, "Using the EISA Configuration Util-
ity," in the User's Guide for instructions.
2. Remove the left computer cover.
See "Removing the Computer Covers" in Chapter 7.
CAUTION: See "Protecting Against Electro-
static Discharge" in the safety instructions at
the front of this guide.
3. If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to
the card.
4. Unscrew the card-mounting bracket.
If the expansion card is full-length, release the lock-
ing cam on the card guide.
5. Grasp the card by its top corners and ease it out
of its connector.
6. If you are removing the card permanently, install
a metal filler bracket over the empty card-slot
opening.
NOTE: Installing a filler bracket over an empty
expansion slot is necessary to maintain Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) certification of
the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out
of the computer and aid in proper cooling and air-
flow inside the computer.
7. Replace the left computer cover, and then recon-
nect the computer and peripherals to their power
sources and turn them on.
