Removing a 3.5" Media Card Reader or Diskette Drive
The 3.5" external drive bay may be populated with a diskette drive or
a media card reader. The removal procedure is the same for both
devices.
1. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system and
turn off any external devices.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and the
computer, and disconnect any external devices.
3. Remove the access panel and front bezel. Refer to “Removing the
Access Panel and Front Bezel.”
4. If the device is a media card reader, disconnect the internal USB
cable from the system board. If the device is a diskette drive,
disconnect the power and data cables from the back of the drive.
5. Remove the retainer screws that secure the drive to the bay 1
then slide the drive forward and out of the bay 2.
