Tip You do not have to remove the cover to replace hard drives or power supplies.

b. Press down on the release button and use the nonslip pad to push the cover toward the rear about one
inch, until you feel it stop sliding.

pegs on each inside edge of the cover to align with the alignment notches on the chassis.
