Installing a Drive into the 3.5-inch External Drive Bay The 3.5-inch external drive bay on the front of the computer can be configured with a media card reader or a diskette drive. 1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Preparation for Disassembly on page 91). 2. Remove the access panel (Access Panel on page 92). 3. Remove the front bezel (Front Bezel on page 93). 4. If you are installing a diskette drive or media card reader in a bay covered by a bezel blank, remove the front bezel then remove the bezel blank. See Bezel Blanks on page 94 for more information. 5. If you are adding a drive to an empty drive bay for the first time, you must remove the knockout plate from the bay. To do so, insert a flat screwdriver into the knockout plate slot and rotate the screwdriver to break the knockout plate out of the chassis. Discard the knockout plate. 6. If the new drive has screws installed on the sides of the drive, remove them before inserting the drive into the chassis. 7. Rotate the drive cage all the way up.
