PCI Card Guide Removal
The PCI cover’s card guides are made of plastic and can be easily removed to accommodate
PCI cards that have components or connectors with which the guide interferes. Therefore,
you may need to remove them from the PCI cover. To do this follow the procedure in this
section.
1. Push the card guide forward with your thumb in the direction of the large arrow and at
the same time apply downward pressure. See Figure 1-29.

2. Remove the card guide from the PCI cover. See Figure 1-30. Note that after you have
completed step 1, the card guide will fall through the card guide slot.
