As you hold down the latch (move the PSU) toward the front of the case. It's only about 1/4 inch.

There is a latch at the bottom edge to unlock the power supply.
Here is an example of the latch. Step 6.
CAUTION: do not blindly unplug ANY thing. As you move the PSU follow all the leads, and only unplug what is NEEDED to remove the PSU. Otherwise, you will create a situation you really do not want or need.
