    For SCSI drives, remove the SCSI cable from the right side of the drive tray.
3. Loosen the spring-loaded screw on the right side of the drive tray until the screw is disengaged.

Caution:
Possible damage to the drive and bezel: Support the drive to a near horizontal position during removal to prevent the front of the bezel and the drive catching on the roof or floor of the drive opening.

4. Slide the drive/tray assembly out of the drive bay and set it on a table or cart.
5. Note the position of the target on the mounted bezel.

Caution:

6. Gently press the upper right side of the bezel and roll the top right corner of the bezel back slightly to
    disengage the top right tab from its mounting slot.
7. Carefully apply pressure to the lower right side and disengage the bottom tab.

Note:
If you are more comfortable using your left hand, you can remove the tabs along the left side first using the previous steps then follow the next step for removing the tabs along the right side.

8. Pivot the bezel away from the front of the drive until the mounting tabs on the left side can be easily
    removed from their slots.

Replacement of the Bezel:
9. Orient the target so that it is positioned at the bottom of the bezel when mounted.

       and all the tabs are fully engaged.

Caution:
Possible damage to drive and bezel: Support the drive to a near horizontal position during installation to prevent the front of the bezel and the drive catching on the roof or floor of the drive opening.

13. Slide the drive/tray assembly into the drive bay until it is fully mated with the drive connector and the tab
      on the right side is flush against the chassis.
14. Finger-tighten the spring-loaded screw on the right side of the drive tray.

      For SCSI drives, plug the SCSI cable into the right side of the drive tray.
