Removing the Optical Drive
Your computer comes with one or two optical drives (CD, DVD, or combo) which you can replace or upgrade. These drives are located in the two fixed bays at the top of the chassis.
To have better access to the back of the drive when you are removing the top optical drive, remove the two screws on both optical drives, and then push both drives part way out through the front of the computer.
1 Locate the two screws (D) on the optical drive and remove them. Push the drive partway out through the front of the computer.
2 Remove the cables attached to the back of the drive you want to replace. Make note of each connection and the plug orientation before disconnecting the cables.
3 Pull the drive out through the front of the computer.
