3. Remove the static shield from the drive bay by using a flat-blade screwdriver
to gently pry it loose.

disk drives do not require either a master or a slave device jumper. If you are
installing an SATA hard disk drive, continue to step 6 on page 18.
v If you are installing the first optical drive, set it as a master device.
v If you are installing an additional optical drive, set it as a slave device.
