Apple Xserve (Slot Load) - Manual (Page 75)

Installing or Replacing Server Components 75
6 Prepare the card slot by doing one of the following:
m If a card is already in the slot, remove it by grasping the edges and gently pulling it toward
the left side of the enclosure.
Store the card in static-proof packaging.
m If no card is in the slot, be sure to remove the slot cover (which came loose when you
loosened the cover’s thumbscrew on the back panel).
7 Remove the card you’re installing from its packaging and hold it by its corners, taking care
not to touch the gold connectors or any of the components on the card.
Pull the PCI/AGP card to the side to
disengage it from the connector, and
then pull it up and out of the server.
