Removing the DVD drive

To remove a DVD drive, open the media tray cover, pinch the DVD retention release, and slide the DVD drive out of the media tray.

Make sure the media tray release handles are closed to keep them from being damaged.
Note: The procedure for removing the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive or the DVD-RW drive is the same.
