how do I remove the PSU? (pics attached)

Following on from this thread, where my PSU failed....

 

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyNAS-NVX-wont-power-up/m-p/1183402#M121006

 

I've now bought a replacement PSU

 

Removed the side panels, and fan, disconnected PSU from board, at this point I'm led to believe the PSU should just slide asway from the chassis

 

But I can't get the PSU to slide out, it still seems to be attached in some way to the chassis

All visible screws are now removed though, all that's left are rivets 

 

I've followed Netgears docs (although they are for a much older model), and also seen it being done on older models on YouTube

 

Any pointers please?

      It is easy to miss that, I did the same thing initially when I replaced a PSU.

      Which is why the warranty sticker is on top of the screw, so they can see it's been tampered with if you ever had to send it in.   I know its a brain fart type of thing to not notice whats in plain site.
