-
Remove the PCIe card from the PCIe riser.
-
Hold the riser in one hand and use your other hand to carefully pull
the PCIe card connector out of the riser.
-
Disconnect the rear bracket that is attached to the PCIe card from the
rear of the PCIe riser.

Whenever you remove a PCIe card, you should replace it with another PCIe
card or a PCIe filler panel. Installing PCIe filler panels in vacant PCIe
slots helps reduce the level of electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted
by the server. See Remove and Install Filler Panels.
