four extra M3 metric guide screws on the front of the chassis, under the front bezel. The M3
metric guide screws are black. Refer to
Installing and Removing Drives on page 179 for an
illustration of the extra M3 metric guide screws location.
NOTE: When replacing the drive, transfer the four M3 metric guide screws from the old drive to
the new one.
CAUTION: Use only 5-mm long screws as guide screws. Longer screws can damage the
internal components of the drive.

CAUTION: There are two cable guides that keep the data cable from being pinched by the
drive cage when raising or lowering it. One is located on the bottom side of the drive cage. The
other is located on the chassis frame under the drive cage. Ensure that the data cable is routed
through these guides before connecting it to the optical drive.
