To install an optional optical drive:
1.Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices.
2.Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.
3.Remove the computer access panel and front bezel (see “Removing the Computer Access Panel and Front Bezel” in this chapter).
4.Remove the optical drive if present (see “Removing an Optical Drive or Diskette Drive” in this chapter).
5.Install two M3 metric guide screws in the lower holes on each side of the drive.
