About the Device Security Screw
NOTE: You do not need to install the device security screw unless you want to prevent the optical drive from
being easily removed.
Your Dell™ computer ships with a CD/DVD drive installed in the optical drive bay along with an M2.5 x 8-mm
device security screw. If the security screw is not already installed, it will be packaged separately. When you insert a
drive into the bay, you can install the device security screw to prevent the drive from being easily removed.
Removing the Optical Drive
CAUTION: Before you perform any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the
Product Information Guide.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to optical drives and other devices, store them in a safe, dry place when they are
not installed in the computer. Avoid pressing down on them or placing heavy objects on top of them.
1. Follow the instructions in Preparing to Work Inside the Computer .
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the M2.5 x 8-mm device security screw, if installed, from the indention in
the bottom of the computer.
