Hard-Disk Drive Bracket
Figure 5-13. Hard-Disk Drive Bracket Removal
To remove the hard-disk drive bracket, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the DC power cable and the interface cable from the back of
each hard-disk drive installed in the hard-disk drive bracket.
2. Remove the screw that secures the hard-disk drive bracket to the drive
cage in the chassis.
3. Grasp the bracket and rotate it outward from the chassis until the slid-
ing tab clears the slide rail on the drive cage.
4. Lift the hard-disk drive bracket slightly to free the hinge tabs and
remove it from the computer.
When you reinstall the hard-disk drive bracket, insert the bracket’s hinge tabs
into the chassis slots so that the tabs hook over the slots. Then rotate the bracket
toward the drive cage, and fit the bracket’s sliding tab on the drive-cage slide
rail.
