I'm trying to install a new drive in my Dell Inspiron. I removed the bezel/front panel to access the drive cage, and there's a metal panel covering the bay. It looks like it's attached somehow, or maybe even part of the cage. I don't see any clips. Any idea how to remove this thing?

I tried prying it up a little with a screwdriver, but I stopped when I saw it's attached to the main piece. I don't know if it's welded on there or what! I'm not popping it off until I know for sure that that's what I'm supposed to do.
As far as I can tell, no.
ETA: On closer inspection, I see that it is part of the main piece. There are small sections that aren't cut through. What would be the best way to get it off? Pry it up?
Re-reading it, that's an odd statement.
The metal isn't sturdy, so if you bend it back and forth a bit it will snap off. I don't recommend banging on it, because you could easily dent the surrounding metal.
