Inserting a CD-ROM Drive into the Computer MultiBay
The system supports up to three CD-ROM drives—one in the
computer MultiBay and two in the expansion base MultiBays.
However, if two CD-ROM drives are in the expansion base, neither
can play audio (music) CDs. If only one CD-ROM drive is in the
expansion base and one is in the computer MultiBay, both can play
audio (music) CDs.
IMPORTANT: Before inserting or removing a drive, be sure you
have read the cautions under "Caring for Removable Drives" earlier
in this chapter.
Follow these steps to insert the CD-ROM drive into the computer
MultiBay.
1. Save your work and close applications.
2. Shut down the computer: click the Start button, click Shut
Down, then click Yes.
3. Position the CD-ROM drive against the left side of the MultiBay
and insert the drive into the MultiBay until it clicks into place.
The system can recognize the CD-ROM drive only if it is
properly seated.
NOTE: If you are unable to insert the drive easily, verify that the
security screw has not been inserted into the bottom of the
computer.
