Some early-production, pre-2008 Mac
Pro computers were assembled with threadlocker (e.g.
LocTite®) applied incorrectly to the two screws that secure
the memory riser card compartment to standoffs attached to
the bottom of the computer. If the bottom screws continue
to turn without loosening when you attempt to remove
them, stop! Contact Sonnet Customer Support for further
assistance.
