5Remove the screw that secures the expansion card to the expansion- card cage.

6Grasp the expansion card by its edges, and carefully remove it from the expansion-card connector.

7If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over the empty expansion slot opening, and close the expansion-card

latch.

NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion slot to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
