3. Unplug or cut all cables from the system board and daughter card.
4. To remove the front USB connector/board:
a. Remove the fan shroud by rotating the shroud up (1) and spreading its ears (2) to remove it from the chassis
(see Figure 3).
b. Remove the board by removing the screw that secures the front USB printed circuit board to the floor of the chassis
(1) and pushing the USB port out of the chassis (2) (see Figure 4).
5. Remove the power supply from the chassis.(see Figure 5).
6. Remove the power USB card and power COM card by releasing the latch on the chassis wall (see Figure 6).
7. Remove the cards inserted in PCI-Ex1 and PCI-Ex16 by releasing the latch on the chassis wall (see Figure 7).
8. Remove the PCA from the chassis using a torx screw driver (see Figure 8).
