3 Remove the drive panel (see "Removing the Drive Panel" on page 124).
4 Remove the shoulder screws from the inside of the drive-panel insert and
attach the screws to the new drive (see "Removing the Drive-Panel Insert"
on page 125).
5 Turn the FlexBay knob on the cage at 90 degrees, in the anti-clockwise
direction.
NOTICE:
Ensure the FlexBay knob is turned in the anticlockwise direction. Failure
to heed can result in the knob being broken.
NOTE:
Turning the FlexBay knob once opens up the drive space to
accommodate a larger device like a hard drive. The knob at this stage is in a
horizontal position.
6 Pull the sliding plate lever down and hold in place.
7 Slide the hard drive into the flex bay drive until the sliding plate clicks into
place and the drive snaps into position.
8 Attach the power and hard drive cables to the hard drive.

page 172).
