Removing and Installing Parts
5 If you are replacing a card that is already installed in the computer, remove
the card.
If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the card.
• For PCI card, grasp the card by its top corners, and ease it out of its
connector.
• For PCI Express card, pull the securing tab, grasp the card by its top
corners, and then ease it out of its connector.
6 If you are removing the card permanently, 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.
7 Replace the card retention bracket, ensuring that:
• The guide clamp is aligned with the guide notch.
• The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment
bar.
• The notch in the top of the card or filler bracket fits around the
alignment guide.
8 Fix the card retention bracket by replacing and tightening the screw.
NOTICE:
To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network device
and then plug it into the computer.
9 Replace the computer cover, reconnect the computer and devices to
electrical outlets, and then turn them on.
10 Remove the card’s driver from the operating system.
11 If you removed a sound card:
a Enter system setup (see "System Setup" on page 174), go to Onboard
Devices and select Integrated Audio, and then change the setting
to On.
b Connect external audio devices to the audio connectors on the back
panel of the computer. See "Back Panel Connectors" on page 20.
