Adding and Replacing Parts

One PCI card slot and two PCI Express x8 (wired as x4) card slots are not

available for use if a graphics riser card is installed for the dual-graphics

configuration. Instead, an additional PCI Express x16 slot is available for the

second card in the dual-graphics configuration. If you are upgrading from or

downgrading to a single graphics to a dual-graphics configuration, you will

need additional parts. Contact Dell to obtain optional upgrade or downgrade

parts (see "Contacting Dell" on page 287).
See "System Board Components" on page 27 to locate the PCI Express x1

card slot. To remove a PCI Express card, see "Removing an Expansion Card"

on page 202.

1 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 139.

CAUTION:

Your computer is heavy (it has an approximate minimum weight of 55

lbs) and can be difficult to maneuver. Seek assistance before attempting to lift,
move, or tilt it; this computer requires a two-man lift. Always lift correctly to avoid
injury; avoid bending over while lifting. See your

Product Information Guide for

other important safety information.

CAUTION:

The computer stand should be installed at all times to ensure

maximum system stability. Failure to install the stand could result in the computer
tipping over, potentially resulting in bodily injury or damage to the computer.
