4To remove the iDRAC6 Express card:

aPull back slightly on the retention standoff tab at the front edge of the card and gently lift the card off the retention standoff. See Figure 3-20.

As the card releases from the standoff tab, the connector under the card disengages from the system board connector.

bAngle the card so that the notch on the card slips through the clip on the system board.

5Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 91.

6Place the system upright and on its feet on a flat, stable surface.

7Rotate the system feet outward.

8Reattach any peripherals and connect the system to an electrical outlet.

9Turn on the system and attached peripherals.
