Removing and Inserting Blank Drive Inserts

Depending on the configuration of your system, a blank drive insert might be
installed in place of an optical or diskette drive. These are essential for airflow
efficiency and for keeping dust out of the system.

You must remove the blank drive insert if you decide to replace it with an
optional diskette or optical drive. From the back of the blank drive insert,
slide the lever on the sliding plate in the direction of the arrow until the
shoulder screw is released. Then pull the PVC tab to remove the blank drive
insert.

To replace the blank drive insert, align the bottom of it with the sliding plate
and gently push it back until the shoulder screw locks into place. See
Figure 3-5.
