Removing a 3.5-inch Secondary Hard Drive from a Drive Bay
NOTE: Before you remove the old hard drive, be sure to back up the data from the old hard drive so
that you can transfer the data to the new hard drive.
The 3.5-inch secondary hard drive is located underneath the 5.25-inch optical drive. You must
remove the 5.25-inch optical drive before removing the 3.5-inch secondary hard drive.
1. Follow the procedure in

3. Press down on the green drive retainer button located on the left side of the drive to disengage
the drive from the drive cage (1). While pressing the drive retainer button, slide the drive back
