Installing a Media Card Reader

1 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 139.

CAUTION:

Your computer is heavy (it has an approximate minimum weight of 55

lbs) and can be difficult to maneuver. Seek assistance before attempting to lift,
move, or tilt it; this computer requires a two-man lift. Always lift correctly to avoid
injury; avoid bending over while lifting. See your

Product Information Guide for

other important safety information.

CAUTION:

The computer stand should be installed at all times to ensure

maximum system stability. Failure to install the stand could result in the computer
tipping over, potentially resulting in bodily injury or damage to the computer.

2 Remove the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on

page 141).

3 Remove the drive panel (see "Removing the Drive Panel" on page 246).
4 If the 3.5-inch drive-panel insert is installed, remove it (see "Removing a

Drive-Panel Insert" on page 247). Otherwise, ensure that the 3.5-inch drive

panel plate is installed.

5 If another device is installed in the drive bay, remove that device (see the

appropriate device removal instructions).

6 If no screws are attached to the Media Card Reader, check the inside of the

drive panel for shoulder screws. Attach screws to the new card reader.
