Dunno if I got the right page or not.

It looks like there are two retention screws that hold the whole
drive cage in place. Once you remove those screws, the drive cage
slides out. You have to disconnect all the ribbon cables and
Molex 4 pin power cables, so the drive cage can come completely
out. (Make notes or place sticky paper on each cable, and also
note where pin one goes. Usually there is a colored stripe on the
pin one side of the ribbon cable. The power connectors are keyed by
the shape of the plastic shell.) You need to be able to lay the cage on
its side, so you can work on the screws on the drive itself. Be
careful when removing the last two screws of the four on the drive,
as then the drive can fall free.
