Remove the two silver T6 Torx screws and white (or black) rubber bumpers from the right side of the hard drive.
You'll need to transfer these screws and bumpers to your new hard drive if you're changing drives. Make sure to put these on the right side of the drive when looking at the label with the SATA connector at the far end.
