LQVWUXFWLRQV²DW²WKH²IURQW²RI²WKLV²JXLGH³
3.
Open the expansion-card door.
4.
Disconnect any cables attached to the expansion card you want to remove.
Be sure to record the location of each cable before you disconnect it.
5.
Press and hold the clip on the back of the system while pressing the release tab
on the latch inside the system (see Figure 8-4); then rotate the latch away from
the expansion-card bracket.
6.
Release the inner end of the expansion card by lifting the tab on the latch.
7.
Grasp the expansion card by its top corners, and carefully remove it from the
expansion-card connector.
8.
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 airflow inside the computer.
9.
Replace the computer cover, and then reconnect the computer and peripherals to
electrical outlets and turn them on.
