[SOLVED] ATX Corsar Carbide SPEC 04

[paullowry]

HI,
I had a system built recently in this case with a MSI Z390-A Pro board. The back has only one external post for PCI card screwmounts, the other end of the bracket appears to secured from the inside. I am opening it for the first time to replace a PCI card and cant figure out how to release the other side of the bracket. The bracket descends down below the motherboard, as if the mother board needs to be removed in order to remove the PCI card????. The other end of the bracket feels secured , I dont want to force it.
If anyone knows this case I would appreciated any help you can give me. Am I missing something? or could this the system be assembled incorrectly?

thanks
Paul

Hello
The above link shows pci back cover removal ,there is no need to remove the mobo as the cover is a copy of the backplate on the new pci-e card .Normally you just remove the retaining screw and pull it out and slide the new one in .
Stay Safe
PS
It needs to be done from inside the case .

Ok thanks , I didn't want to force it, I saw the diagram in the guide and it wasn't clear to me. It looked as though the bracket tapered and went through a slot in the inner case, but nothing is visible from the other side with the case open.
Thanks for the confidence boost I'll apply more force

Regards
Paul
