6 Upgrading the Minitower Computer
Before an expansion board can be installed or replaced, you
must remove the expansion brace that holds the expansion
cards. Follow these steps to safely remove the expansion card
brace:
1. Remove the computer cover. Refer to the section
"Removing the Computer Cover" in this chapter.
2. Grasp the expansion card brace at both ends and pull it out
of the computer chassis. Use care when guiding the
assembly out of the unit to prevent damaging the boards.
When reinstalling the expansion card brace, fully seat the
backplane board attached to the cage into the system board
socket to ensure complete electrical contact.
