Take off the old card, drives etc. from your system which you intend to replace or upgrade by unscrewing them from drive cage. Regular upgrade should be given to card, drives etc. in the available slots and replace the screws. Place the drives and cards on a non-conducting surface or store them in an anti-static bag. So that it is not getting damaged. You also need some special equipment to install other type of drive such as SATA.
