Installing System Components
NOTE:
The procedure for installing a cabled hard-drive carrier for a hard drive that
is not hot pluggable is not shown in the proceeding instructions and illustration. If
your system ships with a cabled hard drive, follow these installation steps.
e Place the hard-drive carrier bracket directly over the hard drive,
bending it to seat it over the hard drive.
f Locate the pin on the carrier and align it with the screw hole on the
hard drive.
g Push the pin into the hard drive.
h As you seat the hard drive in the hard-drive bay, ensure the carrier
latch contacts the carrier bracket and ensure that all latches are fully
engaged.
Optical Drive
An optional slimline DVD or CD-RW/DVD-RW optical drive is mounted on a
tray that slides in the front panel and connects to the controller on the system
board.
NOTE:
DVD devices are data only.
