Removing PCI and PCI Express Cards
NOTICE:
To avoid electrostatic discharge and damage to internal components, ground yourself by using a wrist
grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.

If your computer came with a PCI graphics card installed, removal of the card is not necessary when
installing additional graphics cards; however, the card is required for troubleshooting purposes. If you remove the
card, store it in a safe and secure location.

If you have the optional dual graphics card configuration, see "Removing a PCI Express Graphics Card
from a Dual Configuration" on page 91 to remove or replace a graphics card.
