removing the front panel
This procedure is only necessary when removing or replacing an optical drive, a
7-In-1 memory card reader, or a diskette drive.
1 Remove the side panel with the thumbscrews. See “removing the side panel”
on page 99.
2 Unlock or pull back the front panel release tab (A). This tab is located at the
bottom of the front panel, near the hard drive bracket. Pull the tab all the way
back until the bottom of it rests against the frame of the chassis. The arrow
