2-6 Dell Inspiron 2000 System Reference and Troubleshooting Guide


When you receive your computer, a diskette drive is installed in the external media
bay.
NOTE: You can also use the media bay cable to connect a device directly to the exter-
nal media bay connector, without using the external media bay.
To install a device in the external media bay, perform the following steps:
1. If your computer is running with Softex BayManager: Right-click the Softex icon in
the system tray at the bottom right on your display screen (the icon looks like a
tiny open portable computer), and click Insert Bay Devices.
If your computer is not running Softex BayManager: Save your work, close all
open files and application programs, and turn off the computer.

2. If the external media bay contains a device (see Figure 2-5), remove the media
bay cable from the back of the bay by pressing in on the securing clips while pull-
ing the connector straight out. Then remove the device by sliding the release
latch on the bottom of the bay to the release position, holding it there, and pulling
the device out of the bay.
3. Slide the new device firmly into the external media bay until you hear a click indi-
cating that the device is fully seated.
