NOTICE: If metal shields are present, they must be installed at all times while your system is in use or your system may not function properly.

8If the drive bay is unpopulated and metal shields are present, slide the sliding plate lever to the right and hold it in place as you pull to remove the 5.25-inch metal shield.

9Gently slide the drive into place until you hear a click or feel the drive securely installed.

10Attach the power and data cables to the optical or tape drive. See Figure 3-18.

If you are installing an IDE drive, another drive may be attached to the same data cable by another connector. The other end of the data cable should connect to the IDE connector on the system board. See Figure 6-2.

If you are installing a SATA tape drive (when available), connect the other end of the data cable to the SATA_2 or SATA_3 connector on the system board. See Figure 3-18 and Figure 6-2.

If you are installing a SCSI tape drive, connect the SCSI interface cable in the drive kit from the SCSI controller card to the drive.

11Check all cable connections, and fold cables out of the way to allow for airflow between the fan and cooling vents.

12Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 43.

13Replace the front drive bezel. See "Removing and Replacing the Front Drive Bezel" on page 46.

14Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet, and turn on the system and attached peripherals.

15If you installed an IDE drive, enter the System Setup program and ensure that the drive’s IDE controller is enabled. See "Using the System Setup Program" on page 27.

16(Optional) Test the drive by running the system diagnostics. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on page 113.
