Removing and Replacing the Expansion-Card Cage

Your Dell computer has a removable expansion-card cage, which greatly simplifies many installation procedures by allowing you to remove the
riser board and all installed expansion cards in a single step.

Removing the Expansion-Card Cage

Use the following procedure to remove the expansion-card cage.

1. Remove the computer cover as instructed in "

Removing the Computer Cover

2. Check any cables connected to expansion cards through the back-panel openings. Disconnect any cables that will not reach to where the

cage must be placed upon removal from the chassis.

3. Locate the securing lever (see Figure 7). Rotate the lever upward until it stops in an upright position.
