CAUTION
The DVD/CD-ROM drive cannot be hot-swapped. In order to add, remove
or replace a DVD/CD-ROM drive, the system must be powered down, power
sources unplugged and the top cover of the chassis must be removed to
access the DVD/CD-ROM drive area.
The slim-line DVD/CD-ROM drive is installed in a drive carrier that is inserted form the rear of the
peripheral bay. This device is not hot-swappable; you must switch off system power, remove all
power cords, open the chassis and then remove the peripheral bay to remove or install a CD-ROM
or DVD-ROM drive.
The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive snaps into the carrier as shown in Figure 7 and is secured by four
raised points. The raised points line up with the mounting holes on the sides of the drive. Two of
these mounting points are spring loaded and two are stationary.
