The PSU slides out on regular chassis tracks, which have a clip
release at the end of the extended travel. Remove all the wiring
first, then extend the PSU until it stops, then find and depress the
tabs on the outside middle of the slide tracks and withdraw the
PSU... and watch it... it's close to a 100lbs, tho it doesn't look
like it. (If the 'braid' you mention is flat and silver, it's a
ground bonding conductor... unscrew it or cut it. If no other
tools, you can just work it back and forth at one of the connectors
untill it frays and breaks. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
Hope this helps a little.
Cheers
John
There's two varients of Power Supply -- VDE and NON-VDE.
I believe the VDE is just screwed in without the chasis tracks.
