Remove the four screws that secure the HDD to the HDD bracket (see

the HDD bracket and set it aside so that you can replace it later.

screws on the HDD covers. Loosening or removing these screws will break the seal and void
the HDD warranty.
Do not touch the drives with magnetic objects (such as magnetic screwdrivers), and avoid
placing magnet-sensitive objects, such as credit cards and employee ID cards, near the HDDs.
