Installing a drive

To install an internal drive, follow these steps.

1.Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover - microtower model” on page 44.

Note: If your computer has a CD drive or DVD drive, you might need to remove the signal and power cables from the drive.

2.Remove the bay panel from the drive bay by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver at the end and gently prying it loose.

3.Remove the metal shield from the drive bay by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into one of the slots and gently prying it loose.

4.Make sure the drive that you are installing is set correctly as either a master or a slave device.

v If it is the first CD drive or DVD drive, set as a master device.

vIf it is an additional CD drive or DVD drive, set as a slave device.
