4Remove the filler bracket on the slot that you are using.

NOTE: Keep the filler bracket if you need to remove the expansion card. Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion-card slots to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.

5Insert the expansion card firmly into the expansion-card connector until the card is fully seated.
