Before you can install a 5.25-inch drive, you should first remove the front panel assembly (front bezel and front panel cover). The front panel assembly is attached to the chassis through four hooked tabs on the left side and four hinge-like tabs on the right side.

To remove the front panel assembly:

1.Pull the lock lever (blue bar) on the front edge of the chassis outward to release the front panel assembly.

2.Pull and swing the left edge of the front panel outward.
