Step 6. Place the card cage on an ESD-protected work surface.
Step 7. Orient the card cage such that PCI card connectors (within the card cage) are at the bottom, when
viewed through the open side of the card cage, and cards can be removed by lifting them from the
sockets.
Step 8. Remove the cover that is now on top of the card cage by sliding the cover toward the rear of the card
cage and lifting the cover. Remove the cover from the card cage.
