Replacing the Optical Drive

Your Mac Pro comes with one or two SuperDrives installed in the optical drive bays.

Follow these instructions to replace your optical drive.

Important:

Contact your drive manufacturer or consult the manufacturer’s website to

determine if your drive is set to cable select mode. Before installation, 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 on page 39.

2

Lift the latch to unlock the optical drive carriers.

Important:

When the latch is down, the drives and carriers are locked in the drive bays

and can’t be removed.

3

Pull the optical drive carrier halfway out of the optical drive bay.
