   Note

   If necessary, repeat this procedure to other M.2 drives to be removed.

1. Remove the PCIe adapter from the riser cage.
   1. Loosen the screw that secures the holder, and remove the holder.
   2. Loosen the screw that secures the PCIe adapter.
   3. Slide the PCIe adapter outward to remove it.
   Note

   • If no PCIe adapter is to be installed to this slot, insert the PCIe filler and secure it with one screw.

   • If no PCIe adapter is to be installed to this slot, to save the holder for future use, insert the holder to the slot on riser cage, and secure the holder with one screw.
