XPS 8930 2nd HDD - support post

I cannot remove the metal trays to install a 2nd HDD as there is a black plastic post in the way.  It looks like it holds up a fan assembly.  How does one go about removing this plastic post?  I didn't see it referenced in the Service Manual.

 

Thanks,

    Watch this video as I believe it describes the process.

    @Yukon Chris The black plastic post is called the full-length graphics card bracket and it is referenced on page 47 of the Service Manual.

    Thank you to all.  I found the section of the manual & have remedied the problem.
