Expansion Card Removal

To remove an expansion card, perform the following steps:

1.Remove the computer cover.

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

3.Remove the expansion-card cage.

4.Remove the screw on the mounting bracket of the card you want to remove.

5.Grasp the card by its outside corners, and ease it out of its connector.

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

NOTE: Installing filler brackets over empty card-slot openings is necessary to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of your computer.

7.Replace the computer cover, and reconnect your computer and peripherals to their electrical outlets and turn them on.

8.Reset the chassis intrusion detector.
