Removing an Add-in Card
1 Remove the cover (see “Removing the Cover” on page 22).
2 Disconnect any cables attached to the add-in card you want to
remove.
3 Remove the screw that secures the add-in card to the chassis.
4 Remove the add-in card from the PCI slot connector and store the
card in an anti-static wrapper for future use.
! Before opening the system unit, save any open files, exit the Windows
®
operating system, turn off the power of the computer and all attached
peripherals, and then unplug the power cord.
✍
Grasp the card with one hand on each end, and gently pull up as you rock the card
from side to side.
! Hold the add-in card by its edges and do not touch any components or
connector contacts on the card. Static electricity in your body may
damage sensitive components on the card. As a precaution, touch any
exposed metal part on the metal chassis (preferably the metal part on
the power supply) before handling an add-in card to discharge any static
electricity in your body.
