c. If you are removing a PCI Express card from the black PCI Express x16 socket, pull the
retention arm on the back of the expansion socket away from the card and carefully rock
the card back and forth until the connectors pull free from the socket. Pull the expansion
card straight up from the socket then away from the inside of the chassis to release it from
the chassis frame. Be sure not to scrape the card against the other components.
