7. If removing an expansion card from a standard expansion socket:
a. Hold the card at each end, and carefully rock it back and forth
until the connectors pull free from the socket.
b. Pull the expansion card straight up from the socket 1 then
away from the inside of the chassis 2 to maneuver the card
out of the computer. Be sure not to scrape the card against the
other components.
Removing an Expansion Card from a Standard Expansion Socket
If replacing or adding a new expansion card, line the card up with
the expansion card slot and press firmly on the card so that the
whole connector seats properly. Slide the slot cover lock down to
secure it in place. Store the old card in the anti-static packaging
that contained the new card.
8. If not replacing the old expansion card with a new card, insert the
metal slot cover in the opened slot and slide the slot cover lock
down to secure the slot cover in place.
CAUTION: After removing an expansion card, you must replace it with a
new card or cover the open slot at the rear of the computer (for example,
with a metal slot cover or a piece of duct tape) for proper cooling of
internal components during operation.)
