Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform

2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
3. When removing a card from riser 3, ensure that the PCIe holder latch is closed.
NOTE:
The procedure for installing and removing a full length PCIe card is similar to the procedure for removing and
installing a GPU card.
Steps

2. Lift the expansion card latch out of the guide slot.
3. Hold the expansion card by its edges, and remove it from the expansion card connector.
