Removing the PCI Riser Card

1. Remove the chassis cover (refer to Chassis Cover Removal/Installation on page 6).

2. Locate the riser card (refer to MLB Diagram on page 5).

3. Remove any installed PCI cards (refer to PCI Cards Removal/Installation on page 14).

4. Remove the two screws that secure the riser card to the crossbar.

5. Disconnect the power cable to the CPU cooling fan.

6. Remove the hex-head screw that secures the support beam to the rear of the chassis. Swing the

rear end of the crossbar up, then unhook it from the front of the chassis and remove it from the

computer.

7. Firmly grasp the PCI riser card and pull it straight out of the computer. Sometimes a gentle

rocking motion from end to end

(not side to side) will make it easier to remove the PCI card.
