Removing or Installing an Expansion Card
An expansion card is a circuit board that fits into a computer
expansion slot. Your computer contains several expansion slots
that can be used to add components to your computer.
Component configurations vary by model.
Expansion cards you can replace or add to your computer
include:
■ Modem
■ Network Interface Card (NIC)
■ Graphics Card
■ Sound Card
A Phillips screwdriver is needed to remove, replace, or add an
expansion card.
1. Complete the procedure described in “Preparing the
Computer” on page 6–1, but do not remove the front bezel.
2. On the rear of the computer an expansion bracket cover
secures the expansion slots. To remove the expansion bracket
cover, remove the screw from the bracket cover 1, then
remove the expansion bracket cover 2.
