NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion card slot to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system. Installing expansion card into the expansion card riser Prerequisites 1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions. 2. Power off the system and all attached peripherals. 3. Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the peripherals. 4. Ensure that all internal cables are routed correctly and connected, and no tools or extra parts are left inside the system. 5. Open the drive bays, remove all drives, and then close the drive bays. 6. Remove the power supply units. 7. Remove the system from the rack and place it on an ESD work bench. For more information, see the Rail Installation Guide available at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals. 8. Remove the system cover. 9. Remove the air shroud. 10. If installed, remove the rear drive cage. 11. Remove the expansion card riser from the system. 12. When removing a card from low profile, full height X1, or butterfly riser, ensure that the PCIe card holder latch is closed. 13. When installing a card into low profile, full height X1, or butterfly riser, open the PCIe card holder latch. 14. If installing a new expansion card, unpack it and prepare the card for installation. NOTE: For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card. Steps 1. Open the expansion card retention latch. 2. If installed, remove the filler bracket. NOTE: Store the filler bracket for future use. Filler brackets must be installed in empty expansion card slots to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system. Figure 90.
