Installing An Additional 3.5-Inch Device - Gateway E-5400 System Manual

Installing an additional 3.5-inch device

The second, externally accessible 3.5-inch drive bay can be used to install a
3.5-inch device such as a tape drive, a 100 MB or 120 MB disk storage device,
or an additional 3.5-inch diskette drive. Extra sets of rails are included with
your system (clipped to the drive cage) and are used for the installation. You
will have to purchase an additional cable with three connectors and of
sufficient length to connect the existing devices and the new device to the
connector on the system board.
To install an additional device in the 3.5-inch drive bay:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and modem cord (if
installed) and all other external peripheral devices.
2
Open the case by following the instructions on page 17. (See "Preventing
static electricity" on page 15.)
3
Remove the bezel, as described in "To remove the bezel:" on page 19.
4
Remove the plastic bezel insert covering the open bay by disengaging the
retaining tab and pushing the insert out from the back of the bezel. Save
the insert so that you can replace it if you remove the added device.
5
Remove the metal EMI shield from the front of the drive bay, if installed,
by unscrewing the retaining screw on the right side of the shield and
swinging it out to disengage it from the chassis..
Caution
6
Snap the rails onto the drive, making sure the front rail extensions are
towards the front of the device.

System Components
Your system was designed to adhere to electromagnetic
interference requirements and the shield is an integral part
of the system. Installing an approved device should
continue to maintain those standards. If you remove the
device you should reinstall the shield.
