2If present on your computer, rotate the lever on the chassis wall upward.

3Push the two release tabs on the card retention door toward each other and pivot the door open. Because the door is captive, it will remain in the open position.

4If your computer includes a card retention mechanism to secure the x16 card, press the release tab downward gently and then pivot the mechanism upward to access the card slots.
