To replace the hard disk drive holder
If you are installing a new hard drive that does not have a cover, you can remove the cover parts from the old hard drive. You’ll need a small Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
1. Carefully pry the connector off the end of the hard disk drive. Work alternately at each end so that the connector slides off evenly.
2. Remove the two screws from the case, as shown.
3.Lift the plastic tab and remove the plastic cover and metal sheet from the hard disk drive. The metal sheet may not be present on some drives.
When you reinstall the connector, make sure the small tabs on the side of the connector hold the metal sheet.
