I have an HP xw6600 workstation PC/made circa 2007.
Trying to remove and replace a PCI express graphics card, but there is a "retention clamp" that runs across the side of the PCI slots that I can't free up (highlighted in yellow):
I followed the instructions in releasing the two plastic "retention clamp levers" (service manual screenshot):
..but the levers will not will not budge. (two plastic, greenish clamp levers/by red arrows):
Retention levers/back of PC view (on right, top/bottom):
I don't know if this is due to age (PC purchased used) or I am doing something wrong?
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
