Installing a drive in the 5.25-inch drive bay

The 5.25-inch drive bay supports a CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, or other

5.25-inch device.

Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord.

Open the case (“Opening the system” on page 3), observing the static

electricity precautions in “Static electricity precautions” on page 2.

Locate the 5.25-inch drive bay.

If no drive is installed in the drive bay, remove the metal drive bay

cover from the front of the 5.25-inch drive bay. Also, remove the

plastic drive bay cover on the front bezel.

If you are replacing an existing drive, disconnect the power and data

cables from the drive, noting their location and orientation. (You will

reconnect these cables after you install the new drive.)

Squeeze the tabs at the ends of the guide rails in toward the center of

the drive and pull the drive out of the chassis (see Figure 23).
