Installing a CD/DVD Drive

1. Unpack the drive and prepare it for installation.

Check the documentation that accompanied the drive to verify that the drive is configured for your computer. If you are

installing an IDE drive, configure the drive for the cable-select setting.

2. If the replacement drive does not have the bracket rails attached, see

step 2

in the previous section for instructions on

attaching rails.

3. Gently slide the drive into place until the tabs securely click into position.

4. Connect the power, audio, and CD/DVD drive cables to the drive.

5. Connect the other end of the CD/DVD drive cable to the IDE2 system board connector.
