Expansion Cards
The computer has a removable expansion-card cage that contains the riser board
and any installed expansion cards. Dell recommends that you remove the
expansion-card cage first before removing or installing expansion cards.
If you are not removing any of the expansion cards, leave the external cables
attached to the expansion cards.

Figure 5-16. Expansion-Card Cage Removal
To remove an expansion-card cage, follow these steps:
1. Rotate the lever toward the back of the computer until it stops in the
upright position.
2. Lift the expansion-card cage up and away from the computer.
To replace an expansion-card cage, keep it flush against the chassis to ensure
that the lever engages the notch in the chassis when the lever is depressed.
