6.Release the PCIe card latch 2, and then carefully lift the card from the chassis .

TIP: Store the card in an antistatic bag.

7.If you are removing a PCIe card without a release lever, lift the card out of the slot.

8.If you are not installing a PCIe card, install a PCI slot cover and close the expansion card retention clamp. The retention clamp is secured by the expansion card support.

NOTE: It is normal for the expansion card retention clamp to have a slight (5-10 degree) angle when closed. If the angle is greater than this, open the clamp and ensure that all cards are properly seated and all the brackets are mated to the chassis, then re-close the clamp.
