2If you are adding a drive to an empty lower optical drive bay, you must remove the blank plate from the bay. To do so, insert a flat screwdriver into the blank plate slot (C) and rotate the screwdriver to break the blank plate out of the chassis. Discard blank plate.

3Make sure the jumper on the new optical drive or new Parallel ATA hard disk drive is in the CS (Cable Select) position. Your drive may vary from the illustration. The Serial ATA hard disk drive does not use Cable Select.
