Installing an IDE CD-ROM or Tape Drive

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. See Appendix B for more information.

NOTE: These procedures can also be used for installing a SCSI device. For more information, refer to the documentation that came with the SCSI device option kit.

1.Turn off the workstation and any external devices. Disconnect the power cord from the grounded AC outlet. Disconnect the network cable and any external devices from the system. remove the workstation access panel.

IMPORTANT: On a power-managed system, the power cord must be disconnected from the grounded AC outlet.

2.Install two guide screws on each side of the drive. If there are multiple screw holes on the sides of the drives, use the lower set of holes.

NOTE: Some options use M3 metric hardware, such as in the 5.25-inch, one-half height external bay. Extra guide screws are provided on the front of the chassis, under the front bezel. Compaq-supplied metric screws are black.

3.Install the drive in the desired drive bay by sliding it into the front of the drive cage; the drivelock automatically secures the drive in the bay.

NOTE: Be sure the guide screws line up with the guide slots in the drive cage.
