4. Separate the system I/O board from the processor board.
   1. Hook your left index finger onto the plunger and lift it.
   2. Place both thumbs under the edge of the system I/O board, brace them against the supporting sheet metal, and lift the edge up by approximately 3 to 6 degrees.
   3. Keeping your thumbs braced to provide counterforce, use your left index finger to pull the system I/O board away from the processor board. Then, lift the system I/O board up.
      Note

      To prevent damage to the system I/O board, ensure the following:

      • During the pulling action, use your right hand to guide and stabilize the system I/O board, preventing it from rotating.

      • After pulling, ensure the gold finger of the system I/O board is less than 10 mm away from the slot on the processor board. This prevents damage to the system I/O board caused by rubbing against the supporting sheet metal.
