Installing a drive in bay 1 or bay 2
1. Remove the computer cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 10.
2. Remove the front bezel by pushing the blue release button as shown.
3. Remove the static 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.
5. PATA drives must be jumpered as either a master or a slave device. SATA hard
disk drives do not require either a master or a slave device jumper. If you are
installing an SATA hard disk drive, continue to step 6 on page 18.
v If you are installing the first optical drive, set it as a master device.
v If you are installing an additional optical drive, set it as a slave device.
