Dell C/Dock Expansion Station - Manual (Page 14)

To install the drive in the media bay, perform the follow­
ing steps:
1. If the computer is docked, undock it.
For instructions, see “Undocking the Computer”
found earlier in this document.
CAUTION: Do not remove the drive from the
modular bay while the computer is docked.
2. If you are using Windows NT, continue to step 3.
If you are using Windows 95 or Windows 98, save
all Hies, close and exit all application programs,
exit the operating system, and turn off your
computer.
If you are using Windows NT with Softex Docking
Services, you can remove drives from the com­
puter’s modular bay and the C/Dock Expansion
Station’s media bay without turning off the com­
puter. For more information refer to “Softex
Docking Services,” found earlier in this document.
3. Remove the drive from the computer’s modular
bay.
For instructions, see the topic titled “Modular Bay”
in the online System User s Guide (located in the
Dell Accessories folder).
If the diskette drive is connected to the computer’s
parallel port, disconnect the drive and remove the
diskette drive cable.
4. Remove any drive in the C/Dock media bay.
Press the media bay eject button (see Figure 1-11).
After the drive slides partway out of the media bay,
gently remove it the rest of the way.
5. If you undocked the computer in step 1, dock it
now. Do not turn on the computer.
For instructions see “Docking the Computer” found
earlier in this document.

6. Insert the drive into the C/Dock media bay (see
Figure 1-11).
Press the drive in firmly. You should hear a click
when the drive is properly seated. If the drive is not
properly seated, it will be loose within the media bay
and the front of the drive will not be flush with the
media bay door.
7. If you are using Windows 95 or Windows 98, turn
on the computer.
Securing the C/Dock Expansion
Station
Use one of the following methods to secure the C/Dock
Expansion Station:
• A padlock alone or a padlock and looped security
cable with the padlock hole (see Figure 1-12) on the
C/Dock Expansion Station.
A padlock alone blocks the eject lever and makes
it difficult to detach the computer from the C/Dock
Expansion Station.
A security cable looped around a stationary object
and used in conjunction with the padlock can help
prevent the unauthorized movement of the computer
and the C/Dock Expansion Station.
