You need to remove the riser card to access the system board components or
to service the main system board. To remove the riser card, you must first
remove all the adapter cards from the riser card. If any of your cards have
cable connections to the system board or one of your drives, disconnect the
cables. Take note of all the cable connections before disconnecting them so
that you can reconnect without error.

from which you remove the cables.
