You can install a Dell™ removable device such as a floppy drive, optical drive, or second hard drive in the module bay. You can also install an airbay (filler blank)

in the bay if you do not plan to install a drive.

Your Dell computer ships with either an optical drive or an airbay (filler blank) installed in the module bay. The airbay is held in the module bay with a security

screw only. You can secure a optical drive in the module bay using two methods:

Locking switch (accessed by removing the computer cover)

Security screw (packaged separately)
