DVD drive
To add replace a CD or DVD drive:
1 Remove the side panel by following the instructions in
“Removing the side panel” on page 31.
2 Remove the front bezel by following the instructions in
“Removing the front bezel” on page 32.

bay, then go to Step 7. For the location of the screws,
see the photo in Step 6.
4 If you are replacing an existing drive, disconnect the

orientation. You will reconnect the cables after you
install the new drive. (CD/DVD drive shown.)
5 Note any jumper settings on the old drive and set the
jumper on the new drive to be the same.

You need a Phillips screwdriver to add or replace a CD or DVD drive.

The color and shape of your replacement drive’s front cover may
vary from your original drive.
