After you have removed the computer cover, support beam, and the bezel,
remove the front-panel insert for the bay you plan to use. From the back of the
bezel, as shown for the mini tower chassis in Figure 4-4, press the release tab
to the side, rotate the insert toward you, and remove it from the bezel. For mini
tower computers, you must remove the upper insert to remove the lower
insert.
