Step 3. Disconnect all external and internal cables attached to the PCI card in the side service bay.
Step 4. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch on the chassis to ~45 degrees CW to free up the manual retention
latch (MRL).
Step 5. Pull up on the MRL until it stops.
Step 6. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch another 45 degrees CW to completely expose the PCI-PCI-X card
bulkhead. See Figure 4-25 on page 76.
Step 7. If the PCI/PCI-X card is full size, open the slider gate bracket to allow PCI/PCI-X card removal. See
Figure 4-26 on page 78.
Step 8. Remove the card from the slot by grasping the top edges of the card and pulling up. The notches in
the OLX dividers provide access to the PCI card for removal.
