Installing the expansion card

Prerequisites

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 are shipped with your product.
CAUTION: Expansion cards can only be installed in the slots on the expansion card riser. Do not attempt to install expansion cards directly into the riser connector on the system board.
  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
  2. Unpack the expansion card and prepare it for installation. For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.

Steps

  1. Remove the screws that secure the expansion card assembly.
  2. Lift the expansion card assembly away from the system board assembly.
  3. Remove the screw that secures the filler bracket.
  4. Hold the filler bracket by its edges, and carefully remove it from the riser card.
    NOTE: Retain this bracket in case you need to remove the expansion card. Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion cards slots to maintain FCC certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
  5. Holding the card by its edges, position the card so that the card edge connector aligns with the riser card on the riser card.
  6. Insert the card edge connector firmly into the riser card until the card is fully seated.
  7. Replace the screw that secures the expansion card.
  8. Place the expansion card assembly into the system board assembly.
  9. Install the screws that secure the expansion card assembly.

Next steps

  1. Install the system board assembly.
  2. Reconnect the peripherals and connect the system to the electrical outlet.
  3. Turn on the system, including any attached peripherals.
