About the Device Security Screw
NOTE: You do not need to install the device security screw unless you want to prevent the module from
being easily removed.
Your Dell™ computer ships with an optical drive installed in the module bay and a device security
screw, which may not be installed in the optical drive but packaged separately. When you install a
module in the bay, you can install the device security screw to prevent the module from being easily
removed.
Removing and Installing Optical Drives
NOTICE: To prevent damage to drives, 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 While the computer is turned on, double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the
taskbar, click the device that you want to eject, and click Stop.
2 Close your display and turn the computer upside-down.
3 Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the device security screw from the bottom of the
computer.
