Upper 3.5-Inch Drive
Figure 4-7. Upper 3.5-Inch Drive Removal
The upper 3.5-inch drive uses a drive bracket between the drive and the right
side of the drive cage.
To remove a drive from the upper 3.5-inch drive bay, follow these steps:
1. Remove the front bezel.
2. Remove the drive cage and drives as an assembly.
3. Remove the two drive-assembly mounting screws, and slide the drive
assembly out of the bay.
4. Remove the two drive-bracket mounting screws, and remove the drive
bracket from the drive.
If you are working on a desktop chassis, the small plastic filler panel
remains in place on the front face of the drive bracket.
When you replace a drive, be sure to set the jumpers on the replacement drive
the same as the jumpers on the drive you removed. For additional information
about jumper settings on EIDE drives, see “EIDE Subsystem” in Chapter 1.
