Adding and Replacing Parts

8 If you are replacing the card, see "Installing PCI Express Graphics Cards in

a Dual Configuration" on page 215.
If you are not replacing the card, install a filler bracket in the empty card-

slot opening.

NOTE:

Installing filler brackets over empty card-slot openings is necessary to

maintain FCC certification of the computer. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out

of your computer.

NOTE:

The graphics card bridge (not present on all dual-graphics configurations)

is unnecessary in a single card configuration.

9 Before you rotate the card retainer back into place, ensure that:

• The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment

bar.

• The notch in the top of each card or filler bracket fits around the

alignment guide.

NOTE:

For extra security, remove the alignment guide (an upside-down screw) and

screw it in right side up to secure a card.
