If someone knows the magic to pull a RA81 out of a rack and off the slides
completely, I'd love to know it! I have two in the other H960 that someone
mounted backwards in the rack :\
I pull the drive about halfway out and to get it further, flip up the
"rocker" catches under the rail. Then it comes all the way out and clicks to
a stop. Most rails I've seen... you have to get them about 3/4 of the way
out and then a screw will appear in a hole that you have to take out. These
slides have that hole but the screws are already out. What obvious trick am
I missing?

Maybe I'm confusing it with the RL02 rails, but on at least one there's
a little metal tine on the top of the rail with a rubber "shoe". Lift
that up, and you can slide the drive forward about another half inch,
which gets it past the lock.
If the rack has been shipped with the drive in place but with no screws,
it's very likely that a piece of sheet metal is wedged under or into
the rubber shoe. Some judicious prying with a long screwdriver
usually straightens that out.
The tine/shoe keeps the drive interlocked to the rail until you lift
it and slide things about half an inch.
