4.7 Installing the CD-ROM Drive
The compact CD-ROM drive used in the panel PC is not the common 5.25" CD-ROM drive seen in computer shops. It is the kind widely used in notebook computers. Install the CD-ROM drive as follows:
1.Detach and remove the rear cover, side panel and CPU cover.
2.Fasten the retaining clip on the CD-ROM drive with the two screws.
3.Slide the slim CD-ROM drive into the CD-ROM slot. (See Fig. 4-6.)
4.Attach the two screws on the side panel of the CD-ROM slot.
5.Connect the 40-pin CD-ROM cable (which has a small converting PCB at its end) to the CD-ROM drive. The other end of the cable is connected to CD-ROM connector J9 on the motherboard.
6.Rotate the retaining spring, to secure the CD-ROM connector (with converting PCB) in place.
