Installing an Add-on Card
Your computer may have one or more open expansion slots, depending on the
model configuration. An expansion slot enables you to install add-on cards to
expand the functionality of your system. The length of the add-on card should not
exceed 9.05 inches.
Installing an add-on card
1
Shut down your computer and turn off all peripheral devices, such as
your printer.
2
Unplug your computer and any peripheral devices.
3
Remove the cover. See “Removing the Cover.”
4
Locate an available expansion slot. Remove the slot cover’s screw,
and then remove the slot cover.
✍
Add-on card configuration varies by model. Some models, such as Configure-to-Order (CTO)
systems, may contain preinstalled add-on cards.

computer.

When removing a slot cover, be careful not to damage components on the
system board or add-on cards. You may need to temporarily remove add-on
cards or other components that may be next to the slot cover you want to
remove.
