Installing The New Optical Drive - HP dc7800 series Hardware Reference Manual

Installing the New Optical Drive

NOTE: If you are installing an optical drive in a bay that did not previously have a drive in it, you must
remove the access panel and the bezel blank covering the opening of the bay before proceeding. Follow
the procedures in
on page 13.
1. Attach the release latch to the new optical drive. Refer to
on page
2. Align the optical drive with the opening in the front bezel. Make sure the back of the optical drive
is being inserted first and the release latch is on the inner side of the drive.
3. Slide the optical drive into the computer through the front bezel. However, do not slide it all the way
in until it locks. Leave it approximately 6 mm (1/4 inch) short of the fully-inserted locked position to
allow room to connect the cable.

4. Connect the cable to the rear of the optical drive (1), then slide the drive the rest of the way into
the bay so that it locks in place (2).
