Remove the bezel (face plate) to expose the drive bays.

Power down the system.

Locate the drive to remove.  Squeeze the retainer to unlatch it and rotate the handle outward.  The drive will begin to slide out.  See this image for an example of what the drive carrier looks like with the handle open: http://www.scsi4me.com/images/Dell-Tray.jpg

Slide the drive and drive carrier fully out.

Unscrew the drive and replace it.

Slide the carrier and new drive into the slot.  Rotate the handle  in until it clicks.

The drive has now been replaced.
