Removal and Replacement Procedures— Microtower (MT) Chassis
6.8.3 3.5" Drive
If you are installing a device for the first time in the external 3.5” drive bay you will need to use a flat blade screwdriver to break out the metal shield.
The 3.5" external drive bay may be populated with a diskette drive or a media card reader. The removal procedure is the same for both devices.
1.Turn off the computer properly through the operating system and turn off any external devices.
2.Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and the computer, and disconnect any external devices.
3.Remove the access panel. (Section 6.2, “Access Panel”)
4.Remove the front bezel. (Section 6.3, “Front Bezel”)
5.If the device is a media card reader, disconnect the internal USB cable from the system board. If the device is a diskette drive, disconnect the power and data cables from the back of the drive.
6.Remove the retainer screws that secure the drive to the bay 1 then slide the drive forward and out of the bay 2.
To install a drive, reverse the removal procedure. Be sure to install a guide screw on the front right side of a new drive. The guide screw helps secure the drive in place.
Refer to the table on the following page for proper retainer and guide screw locations.
