9.2 Disk Drive Bracket
The disk drive bracket resides in the top part of the system unit in front of the power
supply (see
FIGURE 9-13). It houses both the diskette drive and the hard disk drive.
The hard drive may be removed independently of the disk drive mounting bracket,
but you must remove the disk drive bracket before removing the diskette drive or
power supply. Refer to
FIGURE 9-12 through FIGURE 9-15 for the location of the disk
drive mounting bracket and the captive screw that secures it to the system.
