Installing an Optical or Tape Drive
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.
1 Unpack the optical or tape drive, and prepare it for installation.
If you are installing a SCSI tape drive, you must have a SCSI controller
card installed (see "Installing an Expansion Card" on page 95) and
configure the tape drive according to the documentation that came with
the tape drive.
2 Remove the front bezel (see "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 63).
3 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet and from the peripherals.
4 Remove the system cover (see "Removing the System Cover" on page 66).
5 Remove the processor airflow shroud (see "Removing the Processor Airflow
Shroud" on page 70).
6 Remove the existing drive, if applicable (see "Removing an Optical or Tape
Drive" on page 88).
NOTE:
If the drive bay is empty, remove the insert on the front bezel (see
"Removing a Front Bezel Insert" on page 65) and the EMI filler from the drive
bay (see "Removing an EMI Filler" on page 68).
7 Attach the three shoulder screws to the drive, one screw on the lower front
screw hole on the right side and two screws on the lower screw holes on the
left side. See Figure 3-19.
NOTE:
If the optical or tape drive you are installing does not have shoulder
screws, remove the three shoulder screws from the old drive or the back of
the 5.25-inch front bezel insert.
