2.5 Removing the storage drive assembly
Removing the storage drive assembly provides you more space when installing the CPU and the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
To remove the front cover and storage drive assembly:
1.Locate and remove three storage drive assembly screws. Keep the screws for later use.
If your system comes with a preinstalled optical drive, disconnect the power, audio, and IDE plugs at the back of the drive before lifting the storage drive assembly.
2.Slightly lift the storage drive assembly until its hooks are released from the chassis holes. Set the storage drive assembly aside.
When removing the storage drive assembly, make sure to hold or support it firmly. The assembly may accidentally drop and damage other system components.
