- Actually, there is a plastic latch that holds the power supply down. It is
- at the corner towards the middle of the machine and a couple of inches
- down towards the motherboard (there is also a screw down there that you
- need to take out to remove the drives to get at the SIMM sockets)
-
- The plastic latch needs to be pryed towards the front of the machine about
- an eighth of an inch at the bottom.
-
- There is a similar but much larger latch that holds the drives in. It is at
- the side panel (top panel if your machine is on edge).
-
- Good luck!
