Step 8

Remove the two clips holding the port cover in place. Squeeze them together to slide the port cover off of the motherboard.
This will take some finger strength. You may need to use the iFixit tweezers to assist you.
There is a sticky cover on the ports that may prevent them from being detached. Make sure that the sticker is at least unstuck from the edge of the motherboard when you take the ports out.
Set the motherboard aside.
