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 Unpack the expansion card and prepare it for installation. For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card. 2 Open the blade. See "Opening the Blade" on page 149. 3 If installed, remove the expansion-card blank: a Loosen the captive screw and open the filler-bracket retention latch by rotating the latch open. See Figure 3-35. b Rotate the expansion-card retention latch away from the blank until it snaps into position under the securing tab. See Figure 3-35. c Grasp the expansion-card blank and remove it from the expansioncard connector. See Figure 3-35. 4 Remove the metal filler bracket out of the blade. 5 Locate the expansion-card connector on the riser. 6 Holding the card by its edges, position the card so that the card-edge connector aligns with the expansion-card connector. 7 Insert the card-edge connector firmly into the expansion-card connector until the card is fully seated. Additionally for NVIDIA M1060 GPGPU card, push the shipping lock up and snap into place. The shipping lock and the locking tab are installed on systems installed with a NVIDIA M1060 GPGPU card. 8 Lift the latch-release tab and rotate the expansion-card retention latch toward the expansion card.
