Squeeze the metal tabs that extend from each side of the drive bracket toward
each other, and pull the bracket out of the bay (see Figure 7-6).

NOTE: For easier access inside the chassis, you may want to rotate the power
supply out of the way temporarily. To do so, see “Rotating the Power Supply
Away From the System Board” in Chapter 5.

If a drive is already installed in the bay and you are replacing it, be sure to dis-
connect the DC power cable and interface cable from the back of the drive before
sliding the bracket out of the bay. To remove the old drive from the bracket, turn
the drive/bracket assembly upside down and unscrew the four screws that
secure the drive to the bracket (see Figure 7-7).

Turn the drive upside down, and locate the four screw holes around its perimeter.
Fit the bracket over the drive, and then tilt the front of the drive up so that the
bracket drops down into place. To ensure proper installation, all screw holes
should be aligned and the tabs on the front of the bracket should be flush with
the front of the drive (see Figure 7-7).
