DVD-ROM bracket prevents power supply removal

[Howard_Abraham]

I have an HP 570-P033W, which has a mini desktop chassis.  I would like to upgrade the power supply.  I removed the screws and I can ALMOST get the power supply out, but the bracket that holds the DVD drive in place is blocking the removal.

I can remove the DVD-ROM drive from the bracket, but I can't remove the bracket itself.  I did find two screws for the DVD bracket, but removing those was insufficient to remove the bracket.

I may wish to sacrifice the DVD permanently in favor of a larger video card, so this issue extends beyond just upgrading the power supply.  And I think there are some power connections behind the DVD bracket, so removing that bracket seems essential.

NOTE:  This chassis is very small.  Generic manuals for larger cases won't be helpful.  I've been building PCs for over thirty years so don't be afraid to get technical and detailed.
