NOTE: Before removing an installed expansion card, disconnect any cables that may be attached
to the expansion card.
a. If you are installing an expansion card in a vacant socket, remove the appropriate expansion
slot cover on the back of the chassis. Pull the slot cover straight up then away from the inside
of the chassis.

b. If you are removing a standard PCI card, hold the card at each end, and carefully rock it back
and forth until the connectors pull free from the socket. Pull the expansion card straight up
from the socket (1) then away from the inside of the chassis (2) to release it from the chassis
frame. Be sure not to scrape the card against the other components.
