4. Push the two release tabs on the card retention door from the inside to pivot the door open. Because the door is

captive, it will remain in the open position.

a. Grasp the end of the card retention mechanism and, while pressing the release tab down with your thumb,

rotate the mechanism towards the base of the computer.

b. Detach the mechanism from its retaining tabs and set it aside in a secure location.

6. If a "piano" bracket (for full-length PCI-E cards) is present on your computer, rotate it upward by pressing the tabs on

the side of the bracket toward each other.
