Removing and Replacing the Expansion-
Card Cage
Your Dell system has a removable expansion-card cage, which simplifies many instal-
lation procedures by allowing you to remove the riser board and all installed expansion
cards in a single step.
Removing the Expansion-Card Cage
To remove the expansion-card cage, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the sys-
tem from the electrical outlet.
NOTICE: See “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the safety
instructions in the System Information document.
2. Open the system doors.
3. Check any cables connected to expansion cards through the back-panel open-
ings. Disconnect any cables that will not reach to where the cage must be placed
upon removal from the chassis.
NOTE: Verify that the power LED on the riser board (see Figure 6-3) is off before
removing the card cage.
