3.5-inch diskette or CD/DVD drives
43
Both the 3.5-inch diskette drive and 5.25-inch CD/DVD drives are secured
in the chassis by sets of removable rails. The rails let the drives slide into
and out of the guides in the front bays. Extra rails are included with your
system and are clipped to the outsides of the drive cages, inside the case.
6
Disengage the rail locking tabs by pressing inward on both front rail
extensions, then move the drive slightly out of the bay by pushing on
the back of the drive. Pull the drive out of the chassis.
7
Remove the rails on both sides of the drive and snap them onto the new
drive in the same positions. Make sure the front rail extensions are
towards the front of the drive.
8
Align the rails with the appropriate open bay, and slide the drive into
the bay until the locking tabs snap into place.
9
Connect the power and data cables, making sure the cables match their
original position. (See your drive documentation for proper drive jumper
settings and cable orientation.)
10
Close the case, as described in Chapter 3.
11
Reconnect the power and modem cords, then turn on the system.
Important
The rails on the 3.5-inch drive are different from those on
the CD/DVD drive. Make sure you install the correct rails
on each drive.
