Module Bay
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the
Product Information Guide.
You can install a Dell
™
portable device such as a floppy drive, CD/DVD drive, or second hard drive in
the module bay.
Your Dell computer ships with either a CD/DVD drive or an airbay (filler blank) installed in the
module bay. You can secure a device in the module bay by two methods:
• Locking switch (accessed by removing the computer cover)
• Device screw (packaged separately)
See "Securing a Device in the Module Bay" for more information about securing a device in your
computer.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to devices, place them in a safe, dry place when they are not installed in
the computer. Avoid pressing down on them or placing heavy objects on top of them.
Installing a Device When Your Computer Is Turned Off
To install a device in the module bay:
1
If the module bay contains an airbay instead of a device, pull the airbay out of the module bay
and skip to step 5. If the airbay is locked, remove the device screw.
2
If the module bay contains a device that is locked, remove the cover and move the module
locking switch to the unlocked position by raising the locking switch. If a device screw is used,
remove the screw.
