The guide screws mounted on the left side of the drive are standard-head screws. The
guide screws mounted on the right side of the drive are wafer-head screws. The drive
release latch will not work properly if the wrong screws are installed.
To replace the 3.5-inch drive, reverse the removal procedure.

internal components of the drive.
