I didn't know that - all the drives I've come across in all me years working
for VARs I've not come across a drive that didn't have the access panel. Are
yours older drives? Maybe the panel was added later because getting the lid
open without it is a right royal PITA.......
and NOW I'm thinking 'if I know it's a pain to get the lid off without the
panel maybe I DID see some drives without it' :)

The
top door latch on an RL drive is locked by a solenoid. Apply
power to the drive, make sure the "load" button is out, wait for a
"click" (the load light will come on) then you should be able to
squeeze that little slide handle and open the top cover.
There should be a small 2x1 panel on the side of the drive under where
the
latch is - take this panel off and you'll be able to open the lid by
manually moving the lock.
