Installing a drive
To install a CD drive or DVD drive in bay 2, follow these steps.
1. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover - small desktop model” on
page 26).
2. If you are installing a drive with removable media, insert a flat–blade
screwdriver into one of the slots on the static shield in the drive bay into
which you installed the drive and gently pry the static shield loose from the
drive bay.
3. Make sure the drive is set correctly as the master device. Refer to the
documentation that comes with your CD drive or DVD drive for master/slave
jumper information.
4. Lift the latch and remove the drive mounting tray.
5. Install the drive into the bay. Align the screw holes and insert the four screws.
