NOTE: Store 5.25-inch metal plates for reuse should you decide to permanently remove an optical drive in the future.

To remove the 3.5-inch bay break-away metal plate, rotate the upward to twist and ultimately break the metal tabs that attach the plate to the chassis.
NOTE: Discard the 3.5-inch bay metal plate once it is removed. It is not designed for reuse. A front-panel insert is available for covering the opening of the empty 3.5-inch bay (once the break-away metal plate has been initially removed) should you decide to permanently remove a device from the 3.5- inch bay.
