Removing adapter cards and riser card 113

Removing adapter cards and riser card

Before you remove an adapter card, you must remove

the system unit cover. For instructions, see page 107.

Lay the system unit on its side. To ensure that the sys-

tem unit lays flat, make sure the base (bottom) of the

system unit hangs over the edge of your work surface as

shown in the illustration.

1. Rest your system on a sturdy, flat surface. Turn the

system unit so that the system board faces you.

Lay the system unit on its side. To ensure that the sys-

tem unit lays flat, make sure the base (bottom) of the

system unit hangs over the edge of your work surface

as shown in the illustration.

2. Remove all adapter cards from the adapter card

slots.

To remove an adapter card:

Remove the adapter card screw. Carefully pull the

adapter card straight out of the slot so that the

card’s components do not bend. If an adapter card

has cables, disconnect them. Be sure to notice

where the cables connect to the cards. You will

have to reconnect these cables when you reinstall

the card.
