Installing a Diskette, Tape, or CD-ROM Drive in a Low-Profile Chassis
To install a diskette, tape, or CD-ROM drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay in a low-profile chassis, perform the following steps.
1. Unpack the drive and prepare it for installation.
NOTICE: To avoid possibly damaging the drive by electromagnetic static (EMS), ground yourself by touching an unpainted
metal surface on the back of the computer.
Check the documentation that accompanied the drive to verify that the drive is configured for your computer system. Change any settings
necessary for your configuration.
If you are installing an enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) drive, configure the drive for the cable select setting. You usually
configure a drive for cable select by setting a jumper or switch, depending on the drive. For instructions on configuring the cable select
setting, see the documentation that accompanied the drive.
2. Remove the computer cover as instructed in "

."
3. Remove the 3.5-inch diskette drive/bracket assembly.
Facing the front of the computer, press outward on the two tabs on the left side of the drive bay to disengage the bracket from the
chassis (see Figure 4). Then rotate the bracket upward, and remove it from the chassis.
