CAUTION: All removable media should be taken out of a drive before removing the drive from the computer.
1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Preparation for disassembly on page 19).
2. Remove the access panel (Access panel on page 20).
3. Disconnect the power cable (1) and data cable (2) from the rear of the optical drive, push the green
release latch on the right rear side of the drive toward the center of the drive (3), and then slide the drive
forward and out of the bay through the front bezel (4).
CAUTION: When removing the cables, pull the tab or connector instead of the cable itself to avoid
