Removing An Expansion Card From An Expansion-Card Riser 1 Or 2
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.
CAUTION: Remove any power cables and externally powered devices from the system before removing an
expansion-card riser.
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and
peripherals.
2. Open the system.
3. Disconnect any cables connected to the expansion card.
4. Lift the expansion-card riser out of the chassis using the touch points.
NOTE: For a full-height expansion card, pull the expansion-card holder away from the expansion-card riser.
5. Press the expansion-card riser latch and rotate it away from the expansion card riser.
6. Grasp the expansion card by its edges, and remove it from the expansion-card connector on the expansion-card
riser.
7. If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over the empty expansion slot opening and
close the expansion-card latch and the expansion-card holder, if applicable.
NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion slot 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.
8. Replace the expansion-card riser in the chassis.
9. Close the system.
