Removal and Replacement Procedures - Convertible Minitower (CMT) Chassis
8. If you are removing an AGP card from an AGP expansion socket with a retention
mechanism, pull the retention arm away from the socket then carefully rock the card back
and forth until the connectors pull free from the socket. Lift the expansion card straight up
then pull it in toward the center of the chassis to release it from the chassis frame. Be sure not
to scrape the card against other components.
9. Store the removed card in anti-static packaging.
10. If you are not installing a new expansion card, install an expansion slot cover to close the
open slot and continue with step 12.
If you are installing a new expansion card, continue with step 11.
Ä CAUTION: After removing an expansion card, you must replace it with a new card or cover the open
slot (for example, with a metal slot cover or a piece of duct tape) for proper cooling of internal
components during operation.
