If that's the tab I think it is, it's there to be pressed so you
can get the carrier out of the enclosure in the first place.
The Options Installation Guide covers this on pp6-10/6-11.
Type "vaxop" into Manx ( http://vt100.net/manx ) and you'll
be able to get hold of a copy from the next (it's a later rev
than the paper copy I just looked at so the page numbers 
may not be exact).

When I described the procedure previously I was actually 
removing a disk from a carrier and only a small amount of
effort was required. Those carriers are probably harder
to get hold of and harder to replicate than the steel plate,
so it's worth taking a little care!
