Note:
PCIe slots 1 through 4 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems.

If it is difficult to disconnect the cables from the PCIe card when the card is inserted into
the PCIe slot, consider performing the procedure in Step 5 before completing this step.
5. Rotate the PCIe card locking mechanism in to an upright position [1], and then lift up on
the PCIe card to disengage it from the motherboard connectors [2].
