Removing The Storage Drive Assembly - Asus Pundit-R User Manual

2.4 Removing the storage drive assembly

Removing the storage drive assembly provides you more space when
installing the CPU and the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
To remove the front cover and storage drive assembly:
1. Lift the front cover hooks
outward until they disengage
from the chassis.
2. Carefully remove the front
cover, then set it aside.
3. Lay the system on its side on a
flat and stable surface.
4. Locate and remove three
storage drive assembly screws.
Keep the screws for later use.
If your system comes with a pre-installed optical drive, disconnect the
power, audio, and IDE plugs at the back of the drive before lifting the
storage drive assembly.
5. Slightly lift the storage drive
assembly until its hooks are
released from the chassis
holes. Set the storage drive
assembly aside.
When removing the storage drive assembly, make sure to hold or
support it firmly. The assembly may accidentally drop and damage
other system components.
