3. Hold the screws and pull the QSM straight out of the chassis, as shown below.
4. Put the removed module into an antistatic bag or on a flat antistatic table.
5. Install a replacement module (see Installing a QSM).
Notes: If you do not want to install a new module, apply a blank plate over the slot
to avoid dust falling into the chassis. The installation method of blank plates is the
same as that of modules.
