Removing Drive-Panel Inserts From the Desktop Computer Drive Panel

1. On the inside of the drive panel, pinch the two drive-panel insert release tabs together and pull the insert out and to the right just enough to release it
from the drive panel.

2. Set the drive-panel insert aside in a secure location.

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
CAUTION: To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before opening the cover.
NOTICE: To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your
computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to a drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set the drive on a surface, such as a foam pad, that will sufficiently
cushion it.
NOTE: To change your computer to either the tower or the desktop orientation, you must use an optional kit available from Dell. See Product
Information for more details on ordering from Dell.
NOTICE: Drive-panel inserts may contain screws on the inside. You can attach the screws to new drives that do not have any screws.
