Step 4. Mounting the drive in the bay

Attention: Be sure to use the M3 x 5-mm mounting screws in the option package when you are driving screws directly into the drive. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.

You can mount the DVD-RAM drive horizontally or vertically in the computer. If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure any discs that you place into the drive before the drive tray is closed, or the DVD-RAM drive will not be able to read the disc properly. For more information on securing discs in a vertically mounted drive, go to ″Securing a disc in a vertically mounted drive″ on page 1-15.

1.Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required procedures for installing storage devices. For more information on storage devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.

2.Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or mounting bracket.

3.Thread the screws in loosely to check their position. Two screws are usually used on each side. Verify that the alignment is correct; then tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not overtighten.

Step 5. Attaching the cables to the drive

The following diagram shows where to connect the cables to the drive.

The following is an illustration of the internal audio cable that comes with your option package.
