Aptiva - 2136 Removals and replacements - Adapter Cards
Applicable to: World-Wide
- Before removing an adapter card, note the location of the adapter card and any cables. When removing an adapter card, install the replacement card in the same slot as the one you removed.
- If necessary, remove cards from the adjacent slots of the failed card.
- Position the system unit such that the card is accessible to you.
- If the adapter card has cables, disconnect them. Be sure to take note where the cables are connected. You will need to reconnect these cables when you reinstall the card.
- Remove the adapter card screw.
- Carefully pull the adapter card straight out of the slot so that the card's components do not bend.

Reinstall adapter card
- Align the back panel slot plate of the add-on card with the exposed opening of intended slot.
- Firmly insert the add-on cards connector(golden finger) into the open slot on the riser card.
- Make sure the add-on card's connector is seated in the slot such that the lower body of the card is flush with the top of the slot.
- Secure add-on card to housing with original screw.
Note: If you have not already done so, connect the cable or cables from the adapter card to the correct connection on the system board or CD-ROM drive. If you had to disconnect any cables to gain access to the adapter card connector on the riser card or to gain access to a section on the system board, reconnect the cables.
