I/O Card Removal
To remove an I/O card from the HP-PB I/O card cage (see Figure 7-31):
1. Make sure that power has been disconnected from the cabinet and you have a grounding wriststrap 
attached to your wrist.
2. From the rear of the cabinet, detach any cables connected to the I/O card that you want to replace.
3. Loosen the two captive screws securing the card to the card cage.
4. Use the extractor handles to release the card from the card cage, and slide the card gently out of the 
card cage along the slot guides.
