card retention door

2Gently push the release tab on the card retention door from the inside to pivot the door open. Because the door is captive, it will remain in the open position.

3If you are installing a new card, remove the filler bracket to create a card-slot opening. Then continue with step 5.

4If you are replacing a card that is already installed in the computer, remove the card.

If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the card. Grasp the card by its top corners, and ease it out of its connector.

5Prepare the card for installation.

See the documentation that came with the card for information on configuring the card, making internal connections, or otherwise customizing it for your computer.
