Installing a CD/DVD Drive

1. If you are installing a new drive, 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. Connect the new drive to the set of rails that are attached to the inside of the cover. If a set of rails is not attached

inside the computer cover, contact Dell.

3. If you are installing a replacement drive and the new 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).
