Installing a CD/DVD Drive

1 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 59.
2 If you are installing a new CD/DVD drive rather than replacing a drive, remove the drive-panel inserts

(see "Removing the Drive-Panel Insert" on page 81).

3 Gently slide the drive into place until you feel a click or feel the drive securely installed.

NOTE:

If you are installing a new CD/DVD drive rather than replacing a drive, remove the drive panel inserts and

slide the drive into place. Check all cable connections, and fold cables out of the way to provide airflow for the fan
and cooling vents.
