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 the each rail should click into place when the device is in
place.
