  3. Disconnect any cables from the PCI card.
  4. Remove the Torx-15 screw that secures the PCI card to the card cage.
  5. Pull the PCI card out of the socket.
    NOTE: If you are not replacing the PCI card with another card, cover the open slot in the PCI card cage with a metal slot cover to facilitate proper airflow and cooling of the system.
