PCI Cards

Installing a PCI Card

If you are replacing a PCI card, remove the current driver for the card from the operating system. See the documentation that came with the card for
information.
1. Follow the procedures in Working on Your Computer.
2. Remove the computer cover (see Removing the Computer Cover).
3. Gently lift the release tab on the card-retention latch all the way up.
WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with your computer. For additional safety best
practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.
CAUTION: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of
your computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
CAUTION: Installing filler brackets over empty card-slot openings is necessary to maintain FCC certification of the computer. The brackets keep
dust and dirt out of your computer and maintains the airflow that cools your computer.
NOTE: Your Dell computer includes only PCI and PCI Express card connectors. ISA cards are not supported.
