4. If you are installing a new hard drive that does not have a cover, you can remove the cover parts
from the old hard drive:
Remove the two screws from the case, then lift the plastic tab and remove the plastic cover
and metal shield from the hard disk drive.
Carefully pry the connector off the end of the hard disk drive. Work alternately at each end so
that the connector slides off evenly.
