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 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 front-panel drive inserts. If you remove a 5.25-inch drive
permanently, you must install both inserts.
Removing the Front-Panel Drive Inserts
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the bezel. See " Removing the Bezel " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
3. Remove the bezel drive insert (see Figure 7 -1 ):
a. From inside the bezel, press the center of the insert outward with your thumbs to loosen the tabs on the sides of the insert.
b. Pull the insert out of the bezel.
4. Remove the chassis drive insert (see Figure 7 -1 ):
a. Press both sides of the insert to loosen the tabs on the insert.
