If removing the GPU permanently, install a filler bracket.
NOTE:You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion card slot 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. The filler bracket is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
Install a metal filler bracket over the empty expansion slot opening and close the expansion card latch.
