If the card is full-length, press the release tab on the end of the

alignment guides on the fan case.

If the connector has a release tab, press the release tab as you grasp the

card by its top corners, and ease it out of its connector.

6 If you are removing the card permanently, install a filler bracket in the

empty card-slot opening.

NOTE:

Installing filler brackets over empty card-slot openings is necessary to

maintain FCC certification of the computer. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out

of your computer.

7 Before you close the card retention door, ensure that:

• The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment

bar.

• The notch in the top of each card or filler bracket fits around the

alignment guide.

NOTE:

For extra security, remove the alignment guide (an upside-down

screw) and screw it in right side up to secure a card.
