bIf the card is full-length, press the release tab on the end of the alignment guides on the fan case.

cIf the connector has a release tab, press the release tab as you grasp the card by its top corners, and ease it out of its connector.

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

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

7Before you close the card retention door, ensure that:

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

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

NOTE: For extra security, remove the alignment guide (an upside-down screw) and screw it in right side up to secure a card.
