To protect the inside of the computer from foreign particles, a plastic front-panel
insert covers each empty external drive bay. Before you install a drive in an empty bay,
you must first remove the front-panel insert.
Whenever you remove a drive, be sure to replace the front-panel insert over the
empty bay.

To remove the front-panel insert for a drive bay you intend to use, first remove the
front bezel as instructed in “Removing the Front Bezel” in Chapter 7. Then, facing the
inside of the front bezel, press against the center of the insert with your thumbs until
the insert bows sufficiently to loosen the tabs on the sides of the insert. Pull the
insert out of the bezel.
To replace a front-panel insert, position the insert over the bay opening from the inside
of the front bezel and carefully press the insert into place. A tab on each side of the
insert snaps into a corresponding latch on the inside of the front bezel.
