Removing and Installing Blank Drive EMI Fillers

Depending on the configuration of your system, a blank drive EMI filler might be installed in place of an optical or diskette drive. These are essential for airflow efficiency and for electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection.

You must remove the blank drive EMI filler if you decide to replace it with an optional diskette or optical drive. Squeeze the filler tabs, and pull the filler out of the chassis. See Figure 3-5.

To replace the blank drive EMI filler, push the filler into the slot on the chassis until the filler tabs lock into place.
