Module Bay
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
You can install a Dell™ removable device such as a floppy drive, optical drive, or second hard drive in the
module bay. You can also install an airbay (filler blank) in the bay if you do not plan to install a drive.
Your Dell computer ships with either an optical drive or an airbay (filler blank) installed in the module
bay. The airbay is held in the module bay with a security screw only. You can secure a optical drive in the
module bay using two methods:
• Locking switch (accessed by removing the computer cover)
• Security screw (packaged separately)
See "Securing a Device in the Module Bay" on page 259 for more information about securing a device in
your computer.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to devices, place them in a safe, dry place when they are not installed in the
computer. Avoid pressing down on them or placing heavy objects on top of them.
Installing a Device When Your Computer Is Turned Off
To install a device in the module bay:
1
Remove any installed device from the bay. If the module bay contains an airbay, remove the security
screw and pull the airbay out of the module bay and skip to step 5.
