You can mount the CD-RW drive in the computer either horizontally or vertically.
If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure any CDs you place into the
drive before you close the drive tray, or the CD-RW drive will not be able to read
the CD properly. For further instructions on securing your CDs in a vertically
mounted drive, see “Loading a CD” on page 10.
1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required
procedures for installing storage devices. Refer to the documentation that came
with your computer for further instructions.
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or
mounting bracket. Be sure to use the mounting screws provided with this
drive. Using the wrong size screws might damage the drive. Thread the screws
in loosely to check their position. Usually two screws are used on each side.
3. Check to ensure that the alignment is correct, and then tighten the screws to
secure the drive. Do not overtighten.
