3-32 Option Installation
5 1/4-Inch Storage Device Installation
Depending on whether devices are already installed in the system, it might be possible to
add one or two 5 1/4-inch devices to the system.
The following subsections describe how to install 5 1/4-inch storage devices. The front
panel must be removed to install a 5 1/4-inch device. The installation procedures include:
removing the front panel
installing a 5 1/4-inch device
replacing the front panel.
Removing the Front Panel
The front panel must be removed before a 5 1/4-inch device is added to the system. It may
also be necessary to remove a blank panel from the front panel and a breakaway panel from
the front of the chassis.
Remove the front panel by following these steps.
1.
Remove the system unit cover as previously described.
2.
The front panel is secured to the chassis with four tabs (see Figure 3-27). Two of
the tabs (the lower left and upper right) are double-pronged to lock into the
chassis. Pinch together the ends of a double-pronged tab to unlock it.
3.
Free the other two tabs and remove the front panel by evenly pulling the panel
from the chassis.
