Installing a Media Card Reader
NOTE: In the event that the replacement or new Media Card Reader does not have shoulder screws, use the
screws located within the drive panel insert. Otherwise, reuse the screws attached to the card reader that you are
replacing.

2 Remove the drive panel (see "Removing the Drive Panel" on page 86).
3 If this is a new card reader installation:
• Remove the drive panel insert (see "Removing the Drive-Panel Insert" on page 87). Remove the
four shoulder screws from the drive panel insert.
• Remove the Media Card Reader from its packaging.
• Remove the shoulder screws from the inside of the drive-panel insert and attach the screws to the
new Media Card Reader.
4 Gently slide the Media Card Reader into place until you feel a click or feel the drive securely installed.
Ensure that the Media Card Reader is installed before the FlexBay cable is connected.
5 Connect the USB cable to the back of the Media Card Reader and to the USB connector on the system
