5Disconnect the PS/2 serial-port cable from the system board (see "System Board Components" on page 95).

6Grasp the PS/2 serial-port adapter bracket by its top corners, and ease it out of its connector.

7If you are removing the adapter permanently, install a filler bracket in the empty card-slot opening.

The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment bar.

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

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-card connectors are fully seated in the connectors on the system board. c Rotate the riser-card cage handle to the down position.
