With the display panel still lifted, disconnect the four inverter cables.

During reinstallation, place the four inverter cable connectors in voids between components attached to the rear panel so the display panel will sit flush.

During reassembly, the order of the inverter cables is interchangeable within each socket.

If you are replacing a hard drive and have an extra set of hands, it is possible to reach in and remove the drive without disconnecting anything but the LCD temp and display connector in the previous step with the LCD in its propped position.
