procedure.
2. Prepare the drive for installation.
NOTICE: Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the computer.
NOTICE: When you unpack the drive, do not set it on a hard surface, which may damage the drive. Instead, set the drive
on a surface such as a foam pad that will sufficiently cushion it.
Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer system.

the three hooks on the front of the chassis (see Figure 5). Remove the bracket.
