1.Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 8), and disconnect all power cords and external cables.

2.Remove the drive associated with the media-extract mechanism to be removed (see “Installing a 1.44 MB diskette drive” on page 96 or “Installing a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive” on page 97).

3.With a screwdriver, press the two notches on the media-extract mechanism until it pops free of the chassis.

4.Pull the media-extract mechanism out of the front of the server.

5.To install the media extract mechanism, reverse the above steps, sliding the media-extract mechanism into position until it snaps into place.
