Adding a second 5.25-inch device

You can add a second 5.25-inch device, such as a CD-RW or CD/DVD drive. You do not have to use any screws to add the device.

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

2Remove the right panel. (See “Removing the side panels” on page 19 and observe the “Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)

3Release the drive cage and slide it forward in the chassis until the release button snaps into the forward locking hole.

4Release the drive locking tab from the empty drive bay by turning the knob on the tab counter-clockwise to the unlock position, then remove the tab from the drive cage.
