Installing an Expansion Card
See the documentation that came with the card for details on installation, configuration, cable
connections, and operation.
To install an expansion card:
WARNING The system is always on when connected to AC power. Before performing this
task, disconnect the system’s power cord from its AC power outlet.
1. Remove the blanking plate from an open slot on the back of the base unit. If there are no open
slots and you want to replace an existing expansion card, see Chapter 9, “Servicing System
Components” for instructions.
CAUTION Spare blanking plates are included with the system. Ensure that you cover an open
slot with a blanking plate to ensure proper airflow for cooling and to reduce
electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions.
2. Slide the expansion card carefully into the card guides. Ensure that the connectors on the
board’s edge are aligned properly with the socket.
3. Push the card into the socket firmly and evenly until it is fully seated.
4. Secure the card to the card guide with a retaining screw (6-32 x 0.25 hex head).
5. Attach any required cables to internal or external connectors.
