Installing a CD/DVD Drive

1. Unpack the drive and prepare it for installation.

Check the documentation that accompanied the drive to verify that the drive is configured for your computer. If you are

installing an IDE drive, configure the drive for the cable select setting.

2. If the replacement drive does not have the bracket rails attached, remove the rails from the old drive by removing the

two screws that secure each rail to the drive. Attach the bracket to the new drive by aligning the screw holes on the

drive with the screw holes on the bracket rails and then inserting and tightening all four screws (two screws on each

rail).

CD/DVD Drive Bracket Rails

1 drive
2 bracket rails (2)
3 screws (4)

3. Gently slide the drive into place until the tabs securely click into position.

4. Connect the power, audio, and CD/DVD drive cables to the drive.

5. Connect the other end of the CD/DVD drive cable to the IDE2 system board connector.
