Installing and Removing a CD Device
This section explains how to install and remove your CD device.
WARNING Turn the Personal Workstation off and unplug the power cord
before installing or removing the CD drive.
CAUTION CD drives are susceptible to mechanical and electrical shock. When
handling the drive, always wear the static-grounding strap that came
with the CD drive kit. Always handle the drive carefully.
Installing a CD Drive
This procedure explains how to install your CD drive in your Personal
Workstation. Note that this procedure uses the top shelf of the CD drive
bay area for demonstrating how to install a CD drive. In this case, there
is no blank to remove from the front panel and you may skip step 2. If
you do desire to install a CD drive into shelf two or three, you will need to
complete step 2.
1. Remove the left-side panel and the top part of the front cover as
explained in the sections “Removing the Left-Side Panel” and
“Removing the Front Panel” in this chapter.
