Step 7. Attaching the faceplates

This option package includes up to two faceplates that conform to the curved design of specific IBM systems. If your computer has a curved design, you can attach one of the included faceplates so that the front of the drive matches the exterior cabinet. Choose the faceplate that best fits your computer, and attach it after you have mounted the DVD-ROM drive in the appropriate bay.
