  • 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.

  3. Open the system.
  4. Locate the expansion-card connector on the riser.
  5. Lift and rotate the expansion-card latch and remove the filler bracket.
  6. Holding the card by its edges, position the card so that the card-edge connector aligns with the expansion-card connector.
  7. Align the expansion-card bracket with the hook on the chassis.
