To replace an optical drive:
1. Slide the optical drive into the bay until it stops. Lift the green drivelock release lever and push the drive
in a few more inches, then release the lever and slide the drive completely into the bay until the drive is
secured.
CAUTION: Ensure that the optical drive is secure. Failure to do so can cause damage to the drive when
moving the workstation.
2. Connect the power, drive, and audio (if required) cables to the drive and workstation.
NOTE: The audio cable is only required for Linux-based systems.
