9-2 Dell PowerEdge 6100/200 System Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
To remove or install drives in the external bays, you must
remove both computer covers and front bezel according
to the instructions in "Removing the Computer Covers"
and "Removing the Front Bezel" in Chapter 7.
To protect the inside of the computer from foreign par-
ticles, a plastic front-panel insert covers each empty
external drive bay. Before you install a drive in an empty
bay, you must first remove the front-panel insert.
Whenever you remove a drive, be sure to replace the
front-panel insert over the empty bay.
