8.3.2 Removing a PCI Express Card Cassette
There are two types of PCIe card cassette. The shapes of the latch (A in Figure 8-2) and lever (B in Figure 8-2) vary depending on the type of the PCIe card cassette, but the same removal procedure applies. For the types of PCIe card cassettes, see "Figure 8-2."
Unless otherwise specified, the figures explained in this section use Type-1.
