To remove or install drives in the external bays, you must remove both computer covers and front bezel according to the instructions in “Removing the Computer Covers” and “Removing the Front Bezel” in Chapter 7.

To protect the inside of the computer from foreign par- ticles, a plastic front-panel insert covers each empty external drive bay. Before you install a drive in an empty bay, you must first remove the front-panel insert.

Whenever you remove a drive, be sure to replace the front-panel insert over the empty bay.
