Adding or replacing add-in cards
An add-in card is a card used in your computer to add functionality to the
system. Use the following instructions to replace, add, or reseat an add-in card.
To replace, add, or reseat an add-in card:
1 Open the case using the instructions in “Opening the case” on page 92.
2 For more stability, place your computer on its side. Place your computer
on a towel or other non-abrasive surface to avoid scratching the
computer case.
3 If you are replacing a card, disconnect any cables that are attached to the
card, noting their locations and orientation. (You will reconnect the cables
after you install the new card.) See the add-in card documentation for
further instructions.
