Removing a CD Drive
This section explains how to remove a CD drive from your system unit.
WARNING Turn the system unit off and unplug the power cord before
removing the CD drive.
CAUTION CD drives are susceptible to mechanical and electronic shock. When
handling the drive, always wear the static-grounding wrist strap that
came in the CD drive kit. Always handle the drive carefully.
1. Perform the procedures in the sections “Opening the System Unit
Front Panel” and “Opening the Left Side Panel of the System Unit.”
The front panel needs to be opened so you can remove the CD drive
from the system chassis. The left side panel needs to be opened so you
can get to the CD drive’s audio, ATAPI and power connectors.
