Removing the processor drawer ..early 2009 Mac Pro

Is removing the processor drawer as simple as unlatching it and pulling it out or are their connectors to disconnect first.

I think I need to pull it to add the tiny WiFi card to the mother board. I can see it and install the card but hooking up the antenna is going to require removing the processor drawer (??).
