The steps required for removing an I/O card from the workstation are:
1. Power off the workstation, and unplug the workstation's power cord from the electrical
outlet. Note that when you press the workstation's power switch, the workstation
automatically performs a shutdown -h.
2. Open the side panel of the workstation as explained in the section "Opening the Left
Side Panel" in this chapter.
3. Pull downward in the direction of the arrow on both PULL tabs of the I/O card retainer
to remove it. See Figure 2-14.
