6. If you are removing the card permanently, install a filler bracket in the empty card-slot opening.

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

CAUTION: Do not route card cables over the cards. Cables routed over the cards can prevent the computer cover from closing properly or cause damage to the equipment.

8.Secure any remaining card(s) by closing the card retention latch and snapping it into place.

9.Replace the computer cover (see Replacing the Computer Cover).

10.Uninstall the card's driver. See the documentation that came with the card for instructions.
