5If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the card.

6Grasp the card by its top corners, and ease it out of its connector.

7If 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.

9Replace the riser-card cage:

a Align the tabs in the side of the riser-card cage with the slots on the side of the computer, and slide the riser-card cage down into place.

b Ensure that the riser cards are fully seated in the connectors on the system board.
