COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Removing an Expansion Board
1. Turn off the workstation and any external devices, then disconnect the
power cord from the grounded AC outlet. Disconnect the network cable
and any external devices from the system.
NOTE: You would remove the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) graphics
controller the same way you would remove another expansion board.
IMPORTANT: On a power-managed system, the power cord must be
disconnected from the grounded AC outlet.
2. Remove the workstation access panel.
3. Disconnect any cables attached to the expansion board.
4. Remove the screw at the side of the expansion slot.
5. Hold the board at each end and carefully rock it back and forth until the
connectors pull free from the slot. Be sure not to scrape the board
against other components.
