To remove the hard-disk drive bracket, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the DC power cable and the interface cable from the back of
each hard-disk drive installed in the hard-disk drive bracket.
2. Remove the screw that secures the hard-disk drive bracket to the front
of the chassis.
3. Grasp the handle on the front of the bracket, and rotate the front of the
bracket up until the hooks are free from the chassis.
4. Lift the hard-disk drive bracket out of the computer.
When you reinstall the hard-disk drive bracket, place the lower-back tab of the
hard-disk drive bracket into position (be sure that the opening in the lower-back
tab is over the alignment tab on the chassis); then rotate the front of the bracket
down into position.
