10 If you are removing a hard drive that has a metal shield, and are not going to install a replacement drive in the drive bay, reinstall the shield in the empty bay (see "About Metal Shields (Present in Some Drive Configurations)" on page 188). Then, install a drive-panel insert (see "Installing a Drive-Panel Insert" on page 218). Installing an Optional Third Hard Drive (Tower Computer) NOTICE: Do not attempt to install a SAS hard drive in the lower 3.5-inch drive bay. This drive bay will only support a floppy drive or a Media Card Reader. 1 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 143. 2 Remove the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on page 145). 3 If you are installing a new drive, unpack the drive and prepare it for installation. Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer. NOTE: Drive-panel inserts may contain screws on the inside. You can attach the screws to new drives that do not have any screws. 4 If you are installing a new drive, remove the drive panel (see "Removing the Drive Panel (Tower Computer)" on page 213) and the drive-panel insert (see "Removing a Drive-Panel Insert" on page 218) from the upper 3.5-inch drive bay. Use the screws provided with the new drive to install the drive into the drive bay. 5 If the FlexBay is not populated and metal shields are present in your computer (see "About Metal Shields (Present in Some Drive Configurations)" on page 188), remove the vented metal insert: a Pull the vented metal insert forward until its surface is flush with that of the surrounding chassis. b Rotate the bottom of the metal insert up towards you, disengaging its lower screws from the surrounding metal. c Lift the metal insert from the computer, disengaging its top screws and metal tabs from the surrounding metal.
