Removing the Audio Card
If you originally installed the audio card and need to remove it, follow the procedure in this
section.
NOTE
The audio card was originally installed in slot one of the system. This is the
recommended PCI card slot to use if you are going to replace this card with a
new one.
To determine the correct numbering for the PCI card slots, see the PCI card
slot openings on the back of the workstation. You will also find PCI card slot
numbers on the PCI cage inside of the workstation and on the PCI backplane
board.
1. Complete the procedure in the section “Removing the CD Drive” (steps 1 through
3; in this chapter), “Removing the DAT Drive” (steps 1 through 5; in Appendix
C), or “Removing the Flexible Disk Drive” (steps 1 through 5; in Appendix D).
2. Complete the procedure in the section “Removing the PCI Cage, I/O Card and PCI
Backplane Board” found in this chapter.
3. Determine that the audio cable has been removed. This step should have been
performed when the CD drive was removed. If you have a flexible disk drive or DAT
drive you will not have to worry about the audio cable.
For a view of what the audio cable looks like when connected to the CD drive see Figure
1-77. Note that this cable must be carefully removed from under its retainer tabs to
avoid damaging the audio cable.
