Installing a 3 1/2-Inch Accessible Device
Install a new device in the bracket, and then install the bracket in the system.
Before removing the cover, turn off system power and unplug the
system power cable. Power is removed only when the power cable is unplugged.

Accessible Device,” to remove the two-device bracket and (if applicable) the old device
from the system.

! remove the 3 1/2-inch plastic bay cover from the bracket cover by pressing its tabs
together while pushing it out of its opening
! remove the breakaway shield (if any) from the front shield by twisting it gently until it
comes off.
3. Slide the new device into the front of the bracket, connector end first.
