On the back there are two tabs sticking out. There are two screws 
near them. Screw them out then gently pull on the tabs. The whole 
logic board pulls out. Recently I had to gently pry around the edges 
with a screw driver to get it stared. The PCI slots are on the right 
hand side, one above the other.
