6.8.4 Removing an Optical Drive or Diskette Drive - SFF chassis
Ä CAUTION: All removable media should be taken out of the drives before removing the drive from the
computer.
✎
An optical drive is a CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM drive.
1. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external
devices.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.
3. Remove the computer access panel and front bezel.
4. Raise the Easy Access drive bay to the upright position.
5. Disconnect the audio, signal, and drive power cables. The other end of the audio cable should
remain connected to the audio connector on the system board.
✎
Only Linux systems will have an audio cable connected to the optical drive.
6. Return the Easy Access drive bay to the up position.
1 3.5-inch drive bay (1.44-MB diskette drive shown)*
2 5.25-inch drive bay for optional drives
3 3.5-inch, internal, standard hard drive bay
*If the computer has a 1.44-MB diskette drive installed, it will be
configured with a diskette drive bezel as shown in the illustration. If
the computer contains an empty 3.5-inch drive bay, then a bezel
blank will be installed on the computer instead. If you do not have a
drive in this slot, you may choose to install a 3.5-inch device (such as
a diskette drive, hard drive, or Zip drive) later on. However, to install
a 3.5-inch device other than a diskette drive or hard drive, you must
order the 3.5-inch device bezel.
