6.The drive has two protruding plastic, snap-in rails attached. Squeeze the rail tabs toward each other as you carefully slide the drive forward out of the bay, and place it on an antistatic surface (Figure 18).

8.If you do not replace the device with another 5.25-inch device, replace the EMI shields to maintain the EMI and airflow characteristics of the chassis.

If the device is a SCSI device and it was installed at the end of the SCSI signal cable, modify the cable and termination arrangement so that a proper termination exists at the end of the cable (it can be a termination device only, not necessarily a SCSI peripheral).

9.Close the subchassis and make sure the foam cover is properly installed, being careful not to pinch any wires or cables (see “Closing the Subchassis and Electronics Bay” on page 7).
