 Replacing 

Removing an Option Card

Follow these steps to remove an option card that has been installed in the computer in order
to access components on the main system board, to change a jumper setting, or to change
option cards:

1

Remove the computer’s cover as described on page 3-2.

2

Remove the retaining screw securing the option card to the computer as shown in
Figure 3-4. Then pull the card straight out from the riser board.

Figure 3-4 Removing/Installing the Option Card

3

Set the option card aside with the component side facing up.

Note After removing an option card, check to see if any jumper settings on the main system

board need to be changed. For example, if you remove a mouse interface card, the
setting of jumper J12 needs to be changed. If you remove a video card, the settings of

jumper Jl0 or J11 may need to change. See page 1 - 12 for more information on jumper

settings.
