Installing A Drive In Bay 1 - Lenovo ThinkCentre 8111 User Manual

Installing a drive in bay 1

To install an optical drive or an additional hard disk drive in bay 1, do the
following:
1. Open the computer cover. See "Opening the cover" on page 11.
2. Remove the plastic panel from the front bezel.
3. Remove the metal shield from the drive bay by using a flat-blade screwdriver
to gently pry it loose.
4. If you are installing any type of drive other than a serial ATA hard drive, make
sure the drive that you are installing is set correctly as either a master or a
slave device.
Note: A serial ATA hard disk drive does not need to be set as either a master
or a slave device.
If you are installing an optical drive or a parallel ATA hard disk drive, set it as
a master device. Refer to the documentation that comes with your drive for
master/slave jumper information.
5. For a 5.25-inch drive, install a retainer bracket on the side of the drive.
6. For a 3.5-inch drive, install the drive into the Universal Adapter Bracket, 5.25 to
3.5-inch.
Note: If you are installing a 3.5-inch hard disk drive you must use a Universal
Adapter Bracket, 5.25 to 3.5-inch. You can obtain this bracket from a local
computer retailer or by contacting the Customer Support Center.
