CAUTION: After removing an expansion card, you must replace it with a new card or
expansion slot cover for proper cooling of internal components during operation.
7. To install a new expansion card, hold the card just above the expansion socket on the system
board then move the card toward the rear of the chassis so that the bottom of the bracket on the
card slides into the small slot on the chassis. Press the card straight down into the expansion
socket on the system board.

NOTE: When installing an expansion card, press firmly on the card so that the whole
connector seats properly in the expansion card slot.
8. While holding the expansion card bracket against the chassis, rotate the slot cover lock over the
expansion card brackets and slot covers. Push the slot cover lock down to latch it and secure
the card brackets.
