Prerequisites

CAUTION Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.
CAUTION If the GPU card is installed, you cannot install the 10 GbE Network Daughter Card (NDC).
  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
  2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
  3. Keep the Philips #1 screwdriver handy.
NOTE If the system has three PCIe cards, ensure that you install the PCIe cooling shroud in your system.

Steps

  1. Orient the NDC so that the Ethernet connectors fit through the slot in the back panel.
  2. Align the captive screws at the back-end of the card with the screw holes on the system board.
  3. To ensure that the connector on the card is in contact with the connector on the system board, press the touch point on the card.
