5 Remove the screw that secures the expansion card to the expansion-
card cage.
6 Grasp the expansion card by its edges, and carefully remove it from the
expansion-card connector.
7 If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket
over the empty expansion slot opening, and close the expansion-card
latch.
NOTE:
You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion slot to
maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the
system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in
proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
