4Disconnect the PS/2 serial-port cable from the system board (see "System Board Components" on page 95).

5Ease the PS/2 serial-port adapter bracket out of its retention slot.

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

The notch in the top of the card or filler bracket fits around the alignment guide.

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