To replace the front-panel insert for the 3.5-inch bay, work from outside the cover. Place the insert in position, and press it into the opening.

Connecting Drives

When installing a drive, you connect two cables—a DC power cable and an interface cable—to the back of the drive. Your drive's power input connector (to which you connect the DC power cable) resembles the connector shown in Figure 4.
