If you have previously used and powered up the system, and that it may be connected to an AC power source, make sure to unplug the power cable before installing or removing any system components. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard and other system components!

Three 5.25-inch drive bays are located on the upper front part of the chassis. A CD-ROM drive that comes standard with the system package occupies the uppermost bay (labeled 1). The two lower bays (labeled 2 and

3)are available for additional 5.25-inch devices.

1.Use a Phillips (cross) screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the metal cover of the bay where you wish to install the drive.

2.From the side of the drive bay, slide the drive bay lock by pushing it to the left to release the drive lock bar.
