NOTE: Before removing an installed expansion card, disconnect any cables that may be attached to the expansion card.
a. If you are installing an expansion card in a vacant socket, remove the appropriate expansion slot cover on the back of the chassis. Pull the slot cover straight up from the socket then away from the inside of the chassis.
b. If removing a standard PCI expansion card, hold the card at each end, and carefully rock it back and forth until the connectors pull free from the socket. Pull the expansion card straight up from the socket (1) then away from the inside of the chassis (2) to release it from the chassis frame. Be sure not to scrape the card against the other components.
