Adding and Replacing Parts

Note the three scenarios in which a metal shield may be removed and not

immediately replaced:

• If the FlexBay held a third hard-drive (in the tower configuration only)

or was empty (in either configuration) with a vented metal shield in

front of it and you install a floppy drive or Media Card Reader in that

bay, a shield is not needed in that bay.

• If the FlexBay held a Media Card Reader or floppy drive (in the tower

configuration only) and you install a hard drive in its place, a vented

metal shield must be installed in front of the hard drive in the FlexBay.

• If a metal shield is installed in the 5.25-inch drive bay and you install

an optical drive in its place, a shield is not needed in that bay.

In either of the above situations, the metal shield should be kept in case it is

needed later.
If you remove a floppy drive, a Media Card Reader, or an optical drive from

your computer, you will need to install a metal shield in its place. If a metal

shield is not installed in any of these cases, your computer may not function

properly. Contact Dell if you need an extra shield (see "Contacting Dell" on

page 295).
