NOTE: The drive cage is the same in both the desktop and mini tower comput-
ers. The drive cage in the mini tower computer is mounted 90 degrees
clockwise from the one shown in Figure 4-5. This rotation positions the drives
horizontally when the computer is set up.
To remove or install a drive in the drive cage, first remove the drive cage from
the chassis as follows:
1. Remove the cover, support beam, and bezel.
2. Note the location and orientation of all cables attached to drives installed in
the drive cage. Then disconnect the cables.
3. Remove the screw that secures the drive cage to the chassis.
4. Slide the drive cage forward approximately one-half inch. Then lift it up (to
the side for the desktop) and away from the chassis.
The side of the chassis contains three detents that secure the drive cage to
the side of the chassis. The drive cage may be slightly difficult to slide for-
ward until it detaches from these detents.
