Module Bay

 

You can install a Dell™ portable device such as a floppy drive, optical drive, or second hard drive in the module bay.

Your Dell computer ships with either an optical drive or an airbay (filler blank) installed in the module bay. You can secure a device in the module bay by two
methods:

l

 

Locking switch (accessed by removing the computer cover)

l

 

Device screw (packaged separately)

See

Securing a Device in the Module Bay

for more information about securing a device in your computer.

 

Installing a Device When Your Computer Is Turned Off

To install a device in the module bay:

 

1.

If the module bay contains an airbay instead of a device, pull the airbay out of the module bay and skip to

step 5

. If the airbay is locked, remove the

device screw.

 

2.

If the module bay contains a device that is locked, remove the cover (see

Removing the Computer Cover

) and move the module locking switch to the

unlocked position by raising the locking switch. If a device screw is used, remove the screw.

CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

NOTICE:

To prevent damage to devices, place them in a safe, dry place when they are not installed in the computer. Avoid pressing down on them or

placing heavy objects on top of them.
