In this video we show how to install and remove the low-profile serial card. Ensure you always use ESD protection when working inside the computer. To begin, insert the system-cover key and turn the key counter-clockwise to unlock the system cover. Then lift the release latch until the system cover slides back. Now, lift the system cover in an angle to remove it from the computer.
To remove the Cooling fan cage, lift the blue release levers to unlock the cooling fan cage. Then, hold the release levers and left the cooling fan cage from the computer. Now, lift to remove the Air shroud and then the three supports. Loosen the thumb screw of Riser 4. To remove Riser 4, push the release button and hold the edges to lift the riser from the system board. Loosen the three thumb screws of Riser 1. To remove Riser 1, push the release button and hold the edges to lift the riser from the system board.
To remove the Air shroud, press the gripping points and pull it upwards to lift it out of the computer. To remove Riser 3, push the release button and hold the edges to lift Riser 3 from the connectors on the system board. To remove Riser 2, push the release button and hold the edges to lift Riser 2 from the connectors on the system board. Now let’s install the low-profile serial card. To begin, open the PCIe latch, and remove the PCIe filler from Riser 2. Align the card with the notch on Riser 2. Then, insert the card into the PCIe slot. a nd close the PCIe latch. Now, the low-profile serial card installation process is complete.
Note: We will demonstrate the system cover installation process once we show the serial card removal process. To remove the low-profile serial card, open the PCIe latch now, pull the card from PCIe slot, to remove it from the Riser. Then, replace the PCIe filler. And then close the PCIe latch.
To install Riser 2, align the holes on the riser with the guides on the system board. Then, push the release button on the riser and while holding the edges lower the riser into its connectors on the system board. To install Riser 3, align the holes on the riser with the guides on the system board. Then, push the release button on the riser and while holding the edges lower the riser into its connectors on the system board. Align the airshroud tabs with the slots in the computer and press it down until the tabs click into place.
To install Riser 1, align the holes on the riser with the guides on the system board. Then, push the release button on the riser and while holding the edges lower the riser into its connectors on the system board. Then, tighten the three thumb screws of Riser 1 to secure it to the computer.
To install Riser 4, align the holes on the riser with the guides on the system board. Push the release button on the riser and while holding the edges lower the riser into its connectors on the system board. Then, tighten single thumb screw of Riser 4 to secure it to the computer. Now, install three air shroud supports and then the air shroud cover. Now, hold the blue release levers of the cooling fan cage, align the guide rails with the guides on the computer.
Then, lower the cooling fan assembly into its slot on the computer until firmly seated. Lower the blue release levers and press to lock the cooling fan assembly into the computer. To close the system, align the tabs of the guide slots on the computer, and slide the system cover. Close the system cover release latch. Insert the system-cover key into the key slot and turn it clockwise to lock the computer. For more information or support about Precision 7960 Rack, visit Dell.com/Support.
