5For both the S0000 and 8000 series, if you are replacing the old drive with a new drive, remove the four screws (4) (two on each side) from the old drive. You need these screws to install the new drive.

NOTE: If you have the S0000 series, and you removed a 7-In-1 memory card reader, continue to step 7; otherwise, you are finished with the task of removing a drive from the chassis.

If you have the 8000 series and you removed a hard disk drive, a 7-In-1 memory card reader, or an optical drive, you are also finished with this task. If you have the 8000 series and you removed a diskette drive, continue to step 6.

6For an 8000 series diskette drive, squeeze inward on both sides of the bracket brace and lift the brace up and out (1). Remove the two sets of screws (2) (left and right sides) that secure the drive to the drive adapter. Lift the diskette drive out of the drive adapter (3) by sliding the drive back and then up. Ensure that the guide screws (4) (left and right sides) are left in the drive adapter. You are finished with the task of removing the drive.
