At the bottom of the memory bay, there are 2 more Phillips screws. They
are a smaller head than the ones inside the memory bay that you just
removed. Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the screws.
There is one problem. On many machines, the screws were improperly
installed. Instead of using loctite on the screw stando, Apple used loc-
tite on the screws themselves, into the standos - without loctite on the
standos that thread into the Mac Pro’s chassis.
This means, when you try and remove the screws, the standos them-
selves that the screws are screwed into turn. You may need to use a
very thin pair of needlenose pliers, hemostats, or even a thin at blade
screwdriver to hold the hex-shaped stando tight, while you loosen the
Phillips screws.
A photo of this task being made look easy, at least if your screws are not
improperly installed as described above. Try and not strip the Phillips
screw heads.

and it will come free. Set the video card aside.
Immediately to the left of the PCI slots, at the top of the logic board, you
