removing the front panel

This procedure is only necessary when removing or replacing an optical drive, a 7-In-1 memory card reader, or a diskette drive.

1Remove the side panel with the thumbscrews. See “removing the side panel” on page 99.

2Unlock or pull back the front panel release tab (A). This tab is located at the bottom of the front panel, near the hard drive bracket. Pull the tab all the way back until the bottom of it rests against the frame of the chassis. The arrow mark on the release tab points to unlock when it is in the unlock position.
