This section provides instructions on how to install or replace a PCI card or an Intel Solid-State Drive
910 Series. Your computer has one standard PCI card slot, two PCI Express x4 card slots, and two PCI
Express x16 graphics card slots.
Note: If you want to use an NVIDIA compute card, ensure that your computer also has an NVIDIA graphics
card installed.
To install or replace a PCI card, do the following:
1. Turn off the computer and disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets.
2. Remove the computer cover. See "Removing the computer cover" on page 40.
3. Open the adapter card retainer.

4. Depending on whether you are installing or replacing a PCI card, do one of the following:
• If you are installing a PCI card, remove the appropriate metal slot cover at the rear of the computer.
• If you are replacing an old PCI card, grasp the old card that is currently installed and gently pull it
out of the slot.
Notes:
a. The card fits tightly into the card slot. If necessary, alternate moving each side of the card a small
amount until it is removed from the card slot.
