Adding or replacing an
expansion card
To add or replace an expansion card:
1 Remove the side panel by following the instructions in
“Removing the side panel” on page 33.
2 If you are replacing an expansion card, disconnect any
cables that are attached to the card, noting their
locations and orientation. (You may need to reconnect
the cables after you install the new card.)
3 Open the card retention lever.
4 If you are replacing an expansion card, remove the old
card. You can slightly seesaw the card end-to-end to
loosen the card, but do not bend the card sideways.
Caution
Do not touch the contacts on the bottom part of the expansion
card. Touching the contacts can cause electrostatic damage to the card.
