Installing An Additional 5.25-Inch Device - Gateway E-5400 System Manual

Installing an additional 5.25-inch device

Two additional, externally accessible 5.25-inch drive bays can be used to
install additional 5.25-inch devices such as a CD-ROM writer or a tape backup.
Extra sets of rails are included with your system (clipped to the drive cage)
and are used for the installation. You may need to purchase an additional cable
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 5.25-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.
