Removing and Installing Parts
Removing a PCI Express Card
1 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 61.
2 If necessary, disconnect any cables connected to the card.
3 Gently pull back the securing tab, grasp the card by its top corners, and then ease it out of its connector.
4 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.
5 Replace the computer cover (see "Replacing the Computer Cover" on page 96), reconnect the
computer and devices to electrical outlets, and then turn them on.
6 Uninstall the card’s driver.
