7 If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over
the empty expansion slot opening on the chassis:
NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion 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.
a Loosen the captive screw and rotate the filler-bracket retention latch
open as shown in Figure 3-36.
b Position the metal filler bracket over the empty expansion slot on the
chassis and rotate the filler-bracket retention latch in toward the
chassis.
c Tighten the captive screw on the filler-bracket retention latch to
secure the metal filler bracket to the chassis.
