replacing the optical drive
Your computer comes with one or two optical drives (CD-ROM, DVD, and/or
CD-Writer or DVD+RW) in the top two bays that you can replace or upgrade.
To remove the existing optical drive:
1 Turn off the computer and all peripherals.
2 Disconnect the modem/telephone cable.
3 Disconnect the power cord and all other attached cables (such as the
keyboard, mouse, and monitor).
4 Remove the front cover: Locate the small release hole (A) on the top of the
computer. On some computers the release hole is under the top CD holder
door (Chassis II and Chassis III only). Insert a pointed object such as a strong
paper clip or pen into the hole. The front cover pops open. Pull the cover up
and out to remove.
