The battery release mechanism consists of the following parts:
o Battery release actuator
o Battery release spring

All of these components are included in the Latches Kit.
The battery release spring maintains the mechanism in the latched state
until the release actuator is pushed. This action retracts the release
hook from the battery. The release hook spring ensures that the battery
hook firmly engages the battery. The battery release holder serves as a
mounting platform for the other release mechanism components. The release
hook and release hook spring are fastened to the release holder with a
screw. The release spring connects the release actuator to the holder. The
holder is held to the bottom of the keyboard with two screws.

state until the release actuator is pushed. This action retracts the
release hook from the diskette drive or hard drive. Pushing the release
actuator also causes the CD-ROM drive release bar to eject a CD-ROM drive
if one is installed. The release hook spring ensures that the release hook
firmly engages the device in the MultiBay. The MultiBay release holder
serves as a mounting platform for the other release mechanism components.
The release hook and release hook spring are fastened to the release
holder with a screw. The release spring connects the release actuator to
the holder. The holder is held to the bottom of the keyboard with a screw
