Installing a 5 1/4-Inch Accessible Device

Note Install rails on the new device before attempting to insert the new device in the system. Use the rails from the old device or the empty bay.

1.Remove the system unit cover and front panel (see “Removing the Cover” and “Removing the Front Panel”).

Before removing the cover, turn off system power and unplug the system power cable. Power is removed only when the power cable is unplugged.

2.If you are installing the device in an unused bay, remove the bay cover (see “Removing a Bay Cover”).

If the bay contains a device to be removed, remove the device (see “Removing a 5 1/4-Inch Accessible Device”).

3.If the new device does not already have rails on either side, use the rails from the empty bay or from the old device (see “Removing or Installing Device Rails”).

4.Position the new device so it is right-side up for the chassis orientation you plan to use (see the following figure).

Orient the 5 1/4-inch accessible device correctly for the configuration (desktop or minitower) you plan to use. Make sure the device is right-side up for that configuration.

5.Slide the device into the device cage in the chassis. The tab on the end of each rail should click into place when the device is in place.
