NOTE:
Before removing an installed expansion card, disconnect any cables that may be
attached to the expansion card.
a. If you are installing an expansion card in a vacant socket, you must use a flatblade
screwdriver to pry out the metal shield on the rear panel that covers the expansion slot. Be
sure to remove the appropriate shield for the expansion card you are installing.

b. If you are removing a standard PCI Express x1 card, hold the card at each end, and
carefully rock it back and forth until the connectors pull free from the socket. Pull the
expansion card straight up from the socket then away from the inside of the chassis to release
it from the chassis frame. Be sure not to scrape the card against the other components.
