Removing an Expansion Card

Follow this general procedure to remove an expansion
card:
1. If you are removing a non-Plug and Play ISA
expansion card, enter the ICU and remove the
expansion card from your configuration.
See Chapter 4, "Using the ISA Configuration Util-
ity," for instructions.
2. Remove the computer cover according to the
instructions in "Removing the Computer Cover"
in Chapter 7.
CAUTION: See "Protecting Against Electro-
static Discharge" in the safety instructions at
the front of this guide.
3. If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to
the card.
4. Remove the expansion-card cage as instructed in
"Removing the Expansion-Card Cage" in Chap-
ter 7.
5. Position the expansion-card cage with the riser
board lying horizontally on your work surface,
and unscrew the mounting bracket of the card
you want to remove.
6. Grasp the card by its outside corners, and ease it
out of its connector.
7. If you are removing the card permanently, install
a metal filler bracket over the empty card-slot
opening.
NOTE: Installing filler brackets over empty card-
slot openings is necessary to maintain Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) certification of
the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out
of your computer.

instructed in "Replacing the Expansion-Card
Cage" in Chapter 7.

puter and peripherals to their power sources, and
