Removing, Installing, and Replacing Components 27 Removing an Add-in Card ! Before opening the system unit, save and close all open files, exit all open applications, turn off the power to all attached peripheral devices, shut down the computer, and unplug the power cord. 1 Remove the system cover (see "Removing the System Cover" on page 24). 2 Disconnect any cables attached to the add-in card. 3 Remove the screw that secures the add-in card to the chassis, and set it aside for future use. 4 Remove the add-in card from the PCI slot connector, and store the card in an anti-static wrapper for future use. ✍ Grasp the card with one hand on each end, and gently pull up as you rock the card from side to side. ! Hold the add-in card by its edges and do not touch any components or connector contacts on the card. Static electricity in your body may damage sensitive components on the card. As a precaution, touch any exposed metal part on the metal chassis (preferably the metal part on the power supply) before handling an add-in card to discharge any static electricity in your body.
