6Press in on the tab on the side of the drive and slide the drive out and up to remove the drive from the chassis.
7If removing this drive changes the drive configuration, then be sure to reflect these changes in system setup. When you restart your computer, enter system setup (see "System Setup" on page 172), then go to the "Drives" section of the system setup and under Drive 0 through 3, set the Drive to the correct configuration.
