Installing a drive in bay 2
To install an optical drive in bay 2:
1. Open the computer cover. See “Opening the cover” on page 12.
2. Pivot the drive bay assembly upward to gain access to the cable connections
and remove the drive cables from the drive. See Figure 9.
3. Remove the metal shield from the drive bay by using a flat-blade screwdriver
to gently pry it loose.
4. If you are installing a drive with accessible media, such as an optical drive,
remove the plastic panel in the bezel by squeezing the plastic tabs that secure
the panel on the inside of the bezel.
Note: If you are installing a 3.5-inch hard disk drive you must use a Universal
Adapter Bracket, 5.25 to 3.5-inch. You can obtain this bracket from a local
computer retailer or by contacting the Customer Support Center.
