Answer 11

They vary but in most cases there are a couple of screws that hold it in place in a caddy that once removed allow it to slide out. Some have ingenious clip devices that mean you don't need to remove the screws. Often there are pictures inside the case to show you what to do. Additionally you need to remove the cables from the back of it.
