Installing an Expansion Card

CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.
1 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet and from the peripherals.
2 Remove the system cover (see "Removing the System Cover" on page 66).
3 Open the expansion card cover (see Figure 3-7).
NOTE:
4 Remove the filler bracket or existing expansion card to create a card-slot
opening (see "Removing an Expansion Card" on page 93).
NOTE:
Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion card slots to maintain
FCC certification of the system and protect against electromagnetic
interference. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in
proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
5 Prepare the card for installation.
6 Open the expansion card latch adjacent to the slot (see Figure 3-20).
You can remove the expansion card cover, if desired, and set it aside.
Keep the filler bracket in case you need to remove the expansion card.
