Replacing the CD drive
The CD drive is attached to the drive cage by a drive locking tab. You do not
have to remove any screws to remove or install a CD drive.
To replace the CD drive:
1 Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2 Remove the right panel. (See “Removing the side panels” on page 19 and
observe the “Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)
3 Disconnect the power, data, and audio cables from the back of the drive.
4 Release the drive locking tab from the drive bay by turning the knob on
the tab counter-clockwise to the unlock position, then remove the tab
from the drive cage.
5 From the rear of the drive cage, push the drive toward the front of the
chassis and through the front bezel.
