4. Remove the GPU brace. Unscrew the bottom two screws, and then the top two screws,
to remove the brace. Both the PCI bracket and the GPU brace keep your graphics card
secure and in place (Fig 23).
5. Remove the GPU from the PCIe slot by pressing on the release clip on the right. This is
where your chosen (non-metal) poking tool may come in handy, to reach the clip on the
board without trying to squeeze your hand between components.
6. Disconnect the power cables from the GPU (if applicable), and tie back any cables you
aren’t planning on using with the provided velcro straps.
7. Now you are ready to install an alternative or replacement GPU.
8. If you are not planning on installing another GPU follow the steps to Replace the CPU
Cooler Shroud, Replace the Top Case, and reconnect all cables and peripherals.
