3.Slide the drive into the bay as shown below, aligning the bracket screws on each side with the appropriate grooves in the drive bay guide.

4.Guide the holes in the front of the brackets over the threaded posts on the front of the subassembly. Then push the drive all the way into the drive bay.

5.Secure the drive to the drive bay with the two nuts.

6.You may need to adjust the drive’s position in the drive bay by sliding it along the drive brackets. A diskette drive (or other externally-accessible device) should extend out of the bay and its faceplate should be flush with the front panel. A hard disk drive should fit all the way into the bay. If necessary, replace the front panel (as described in Chapter

4)to check the drive’s position.

7.When the drive position is correct, remove the two nuts securing it to the drive bay and slide it out of the bay. Then tighten the four drive bracket screws, slide the drive back into the bay, and replace the two nuts.
