Replacing or Adding a Drive

1 If necessary, remove the existing drive.
See "Removing a Drive" on page 3.

drive bay, you must remove the blank plate from
the bay. To do so, insert a flat screwdriver into the
blank plate slot (C) and rotate the screwdriver to
break the blank plate out of the chassis. Discard the
blank plate.
3 Make sure the jumper on the new optical drive or
new Parallel ATA hard disk drive is in the CS
(Cable Select) position. Your drive may vary from
the illustration. The Serial ATA hard disk drive does
not use cable select.
