About the Device Security Screw

NOTE:

You do not need to install the device security screw unless you want to prevent the optical drive from

being easily removed.

Your Dell™ computer ships with a CD/DVD drive installed in the optical drive bay along with an M2.5

x 8-mm device security screw. If the security screw is not already installed, it will be packaged separately.

When you insert a drive into the bay, you can install the device security screw to prevent the drive from

being easily removed.

Removing the Optical Drive

CAUTION:

Before you perform any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the

Product Information Guide.

NOTICE:

To prevent damage to optical drives and other devices, store 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.

1 Follow the instructions in "Preparing to Work Inside the Computer" on page 7.
2 Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the M2.5 x 8-mm device security screw, if installed, from the

indention in the bottom of the computer.
