Installing the 5 1/4-Inch Device
Install an accessible device into the device slot as follows.
1.
Follow the preinstallation instructions that came with the
device, such as setting jumpers and switches.
NOTE
If your 5 1/4-inch device comes with drive
rails, do not attach them. Remove any rails
attached. See the documentation that comes with
the device.
2.
Remove the access cover (see “Removing the Access
Cover”).
3.
Remove and label any cables that interfere with
installing the device.
4.
Remove the front panel (see “Removing the Front
Panel”).
5.
Remove the plastic blank panel. If you are installing a
hard drive, keep the panel handy.
6.
Remove the metal slot cover by carefully pressing it
until it breaks away from the chassis. Be careful of
sharp edges.
7.
From the front of the system, slide the device, connector
end first, into the device slot.
NOTE
To easily access device connectors for
cabling, do not insert a 5 1/4-inch device all the way
into the slot.
