Installing a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or other Removable Storage Device
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
computer and any external devices, disconnect the power cord
from the power outlet, and remove the computer access panel.
2. Install two guide screws on each side of the drive 1.
✎
Some options use metric hardware. Extra guide screws are
provided on the front of the chassis, under the front bezel.
The Compaq-supplied metric screws are black.
3. Install the drive in the desired drive bay by sliding it into the front
of the drive cage 2; the drivelock automatically secures the drive
in the bay.
✎
Be sure the guide screws line up with the guide slots in the
drive cage.
