Removing and Replacing the Expansion-

Card Cage

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

Removing the Expansion-Card Cage

To remove the expansion-card cage, perform the following steps:

1.

Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the sys-
tem from the electrical outlet.

NOTICE: See “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the safety
instructions in the System Information
document.

2.

Open the system doors.

3.

Check any cables connected to expansion cards through the back-panel open-
ings. Disconnect any cables that will not reach to where the cage must be placed
upon removal from the chassis.

NOTE: Verify that the power LED on the riser board (see Figure 6-3) is off before
removing the card cage.
