7. If replacing or adding a new expansion card, hold the card just above the expansion slot on
the system board then move the card toward the rear of the chassis 1 so that the bracket on
the card is aligned with the open slot on the rear of the chassis. Press the card straight down
into the expansion slot on the system board 2.
✎
When installing an expansion card, press firmly on the card so that the whole connector seats
properly in the expansion card slot.
8. If you are replacing an expansion card, store the old card in the anti-static packaging that
contained the new card.
9. While holding the expansion card bracket against the chassis, slide the slot cover lock down
toward the expansion card brackets and slot covers 1 to secure them in place and replace the
thumbscrew 2 that secures the slot cover lock.
10. Connect external cables to the installed card, if needed. Connect internal cables to the system
board, if needed.
