To remove the DVD drive, you must remove the left, right, and front panels, the component
sled, and the switch bank assembly.
2 Remove the power and data combination cable from the back of the DVD drive.
3 Remove the component sled from the chassis, and then remove the switch bank assembly
from the component sled (see page 81).

Set aside the screws so that you can replace them later.
