Preparing the New Optical Drive

Before the new optical drive can be used, the release latch must be attached.

1.Peel the backing off the adhesive on the release latch.

2.Without allowing the release latch to touch the optical drive, carefully align the holes on the release latch with the pins on the side of the optical drive. Make sure the release latch is oriented properly.

3.Insert the pin at the front of the optical drive into the hole at the end of the release latch, and press firmly.

4.Insert the second pin, and press the entire release latch firmly to fasten the latch securely to the optical drive.

Installing the New Optical Drive

NOTE: If you are installing an optical drive in a bay that did not previously have a drive in it, you must remove the access panel and the bezel blank covering the opening of the bay before proceeding. Follow the procedures in Removing the Computer Access Panel on page 9 and Removing a Bezel Blank on page 13.

1.Attach the release latch to the new optical drive. Refer to Preparing the New Optical Drive on page 20.

2.With the back of the optical drive facing the computer and the release latch on the inner side of the drive, align the drive with the opening in the front bezel.
