Dell 840 manual Installing System Components

4Remove the expansion card (see Figure 3-19):

a Remove the screw that secures the expansion-card bracket to the back panel.

b Grasp the expansion card by its top corners, and carefully remove it from the expansion-card connector.

5If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over the empty expansion slot opening and close the expansion-card latch.

6Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 47.
