The small form-factor system provides one expansion slot for a low-profile, 32-bit, 33-megahertz (MHz) Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
card.
The small mini-tower system provides four expansion slots for 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI cards.
Both the small form-factor and small mini-tower systems also provide a slot for one 32-bit accelerated graphics port (AGP) card (low-profile in the
small form-factor system). The expansion slot supports AGP 4x or 2x modes operating at 1.5 volts (V) or 3.3 V. This slot may also be used for a 4-
megabyte (MB) graphics performance accelerator (GPA, formerly called an AIMM).

NOTICE: Before disconnecting a peripheral from the computer or removing a component from the system board, verify that the
auxiliary power light-emitting diode (LED) on the
system board
has turned off.
Installing an Expansion Card in the Small Form-Factor System
1. If you are replacing an expansion card, remove the current driver for the expansion card from the operating system.
2. Turn off the computer and devices, disconnect them from their electrical outlets, and then wait 10 to 20 seconds.
3.
Open the computer cover
.
4. Press the lever on the expansion card retention arm and raise the retention arm.
5. If you are installing a new expansion card, remove the filler bracket for an empty card-slot opening, then continue with
step 7
.
6. If you are replacing an expansion card that is already installed in the computer, remove the expansion card.
If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the card. Grasp the card by its top corners, and ease it out of its connector.
NOTE: To meet PC99 requirements, your Dell system uses only PCI expansion slots. Industry-Standard Architecture (ISA) expansion
cards are not supported.
CAUTION: Before you perform this procedure, see "
Safety Information

NOTICE: Before disconnecting a device from the computer, wait 10 to 20 seconds after disconnecting the computer from its
electrical outlet. Before removing a component from the system board, verify that the standby power light on the system board has
turned off. To locate this light, see "
