Installing a CD/DVD Drive (Desktop Computer)
1. If you are installing a new drive, unpack the drive and prepare it for installation.
Check the documentation that accompanied the drive to verify that the drive is configured for your computer. If you are installing an IDE drive, configure
the drive for the cable select setting.
2. If you are installing a new drive, remove the drive-panel insert (see Removing a Drive-Panel Insert) and remove the shoulder screws from the inside of
the drive-panel insert and attach the screws to the new drive.
NOTICE: In a desktop configuration with 3 hard drives, there can only be one optical drive which must be installed in the upper 5.25-inch drive bay. In
this case, the 3rd hard drive will occupy the lower 5.25-inch drive bay.
