Installing PCI Expansion Cards
1. Power down the system and remove the top chassis cover.
2. Remove the riser card bracket, pictured below. On the rear of the chassis, each
bracket is secured by a small black plastic flip-lever with an arrow on it. Flip open the
appropriate lever to release the bracket, then pull the bracket out of the chassis.
3. Insert the expansion card into the riser card slot while aligning the rear PCI shield.
4. Replace the riser card into the motherboard expansion slot while aligning the bracket
into the chassis. Flip the black plastic lever back in place, making sure it snaps closed
with a click.
5. Replace the chassis cover.
