Use your stored rails on a new device if it doesn’t have the correct
type of rail.

When you convert the chassis to a desktop or a minitower, always
move the stored rails for the new position as well.

Removing or Replacing a Bay Cover
If your system has an empty 5 1/4-inch device bay, it is covered with a
special bay cover. This cover physically protects the inside of the chassis,
and its metal shielding also offers EMF protection.
See the following sections for information on removing or replacing a bay
cover.
Removing a Bay Cover
Remove a bay cover by following these steps.
1.
Press the tabs to either side of the cover inward until they are released
from their slots. The tabs are at the end of rails that reside within the
chassis.
2.
Still holding the tabs, slowly slide the cover out along the rails. As
soon as the cover is free of the chassis, the cover and the rails
disassemble.
