Replacing an Optical Drive

Your Mac Pro comes with one or two SuperDrives installed in the optical drive bays.
Follow these instructions to replace an optical drive.

Note:  Contact your drive manufacturer or consult the manufacturer’s website to
determine if your drive is set to cable select mode. Before you install a drive, set the
drive to cable select mode if the manufacturer hasn’t already done so.

To replace the optical drive:

1

Open your Mac Pro and remove the side panel, following the instructions in “Opening
Your Mac Pro” on page 39.

2

Lift the latch to unlock the optical drive carriers.
When the latch is down, the drives and carriers are locked in the optical drive bays and
can’t be removed.
