Dell PowerEdge R430 Owner's Manual

Removing an expansion card

1. Hold the expansion card by its edges and remove it from the expansion card riser connector.
2. If you are removing the card permanently, install a filler bracket in the empty expansion card slot and close the expansion card latch.
   NOTE You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion card slot. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system. The filler bracket is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
