Installing an additional 5.25-inch device

Two additional, externally accessible 5.25-inch drive bays can be used to install additional 5.25-inch devices such as a CD-ROM writer or a tape backup. Extra sets of rails are included with your system (clipped to the drive cage) and are used for the installation. You may need to purchase an additional cable of sufficient length to connect the existing devices and the new device to the connector on the system board.

To install an additional device in the 5.25-inch drive bay:

1Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and modem cord (if installed) and all other external peripheral devices.

2Open the case by following the instructions on page 17. (See “Preventing static electricity” on page 15.)

3Remove the bezel, as described in “To remove the bezel:” on page 19.

4Remove the plastic bezel insert covering the open bay by disengaging the retaining tab and pushing the insert out from the back of the bezel.
