Replacing an Optical Drive

Your Mac Pro comes with one or two SuperDrives installed in the optical drive bays. Follow these instructions to replace an optical drive.

Note:  Contact your drive manufacturer or consult the manufacturer’s website to determine if your drive is set to cable select mode. Before you install a drive, set the drive to cable select mode if the manufacturer hasn’t already done so.

To replace the optical drive:

1Open your Mac Pro and remove the side panel, following the instructions in “Opening Your Mac Pro” on page 39.

2Lift the latch to unlock the optical drive carriers.

When the latch is down, the drives and carriers are locked in the optical drive bays and can’t be removed.
