4. Grasp the card by its top corners, and lift it from the system board.
5. If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over the empty card-slot opening.
6. Replace the system cover, and then reconnect the system and peripherals to their power sources and turn on the system (see " Replacing the System
Cover and Support Beam " in "Troubleshooting Your System").

the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
