This is a cold-service procedure that can be performed by a customer. Power
down the server completely before performing this procedure.
-

See Remove the PCIe Riser From PCIe Slots 3 and 4.
-
Remove the PCIe card from the riser.
-
Hold the riser in one hand and use your other hand to carefully
remove the PCIe card connector from the riser.
-
Disconnect the rear bracket attached to the PCIe card from the
rear of the PCIe riser.

vacant PCIe slots helps reduce the level of electromagnetic interference
(EMI) emitted by the server.
