4. Depending on whether you are installing or replacing a PCI card, do one of the following:
• If you are installing a PCI card, remove the appropriate metal slot cover at the rear of the computer.
• If you are replacing an old PCI card, grasp the old card that is currently installed and gently pull it
out of the slot.

amount until it is removed from the card slot.
