If you are not replacing the card, install a filler bracket in the empty card-slot opening.
9. Before you rotate the card retainer back into place, ensure that:
l The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment bar.

NOTE: Installing filler brackets over empty card-slot openings is necessary to maintain FCC certification of the computer. The brackets also keep dust
and dirt out of your computer.
