To remove the optical drive:
1. Follow the steps in “Removing the front bezel” on page 31 to remove the front
bezel.
2. Follow the steps in “Opening the drive bay door” on page 37 to open the drive
bay door.
3. With your hand facing upward, grip the bottom of the optical drive and its
bracket with your fingers while pushing down on the bracket lock tab (A in
