11.Uninstall the card's driver. See the documentation that came with the card for instructions.

12.If you removed a sound card:

a.Enter system setup, select Integrated Audio from the Onboard Devices group, and change the setting to On (see System Setup).

b.Connect external audio devices to the audio connectors on the back panel of the computer.

NOTICE: To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network wall jack and then plug it into the computer.

13.If you removed a network-adapter card connector:

a.Enter system setup, select Integrated NIC from the Onboard Devices group, and change the setting to On (see System Setup).

b.Connect the network cable to the integrated network connector on the back panel of the computer.

PCI Express and DVI Cards

Your computer supports one low-profile PCI Express x16 card. If your computer contains a riser-card cage, you can not install a PCI Express DVI card because the riser-card cage blocks the DVI-card (DVI_HDR) connector on the system board.

If you are replacing a PCI Express card with a different type of PCI Express card, remove the current driver for the card from the operating system. See the documentation that came with the card for information.

Installing a PCI Express x16 Card or DVI-Card

1. Follow the procedures in Before You Begin.

NOTE: For PCI card locations, see System Board Components.

2.Gently lift the release tab on the card retention latch from the inside and pivot the latch open.

3.If you are installing a new PCI Express x16 card or DVI-card, remove the filler bracket to create a card-slot opening. Then continue with step 5.

4.If you are replacing a PCI Express x16 card or DVI-card, remove the installed card (see Removing a PCI Express x16 Card or DVI-Card). If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the card. Then continue with step 6.

5.Prepare the card for installation.

NOTE: See the documentation that came with the card for information on configuring the card, making internal connections, or customizing it for your computer.
