Front-Panel Drive Inserts
To help keep dust and dirt out of the system, a plastic insert in the bezel covers each empty
external drive bay. Additionally, each empty external drive bay is covered by a metal insert in the
chassis to maintain to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the
system.
Before you install a 5.25-inch drive in an empty external drive bay, you must first remove both drive
inserts. If you remove a 5.25-inch drive permanently, you must install both the chassis and bezel
inserts.
