Figure 61. Removing expansion card from riser 1

3. Install a filler bracket if you are not replacing the expansion card.

NOTE:

 You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion card slot to maintain Federal Communications

Commission (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.
