This chapter describes how to install the following options in the external drive bays: Drives that use the computer's integrated diskette drive controller Drives that use the computer's integrated Ultra/Narrow SCSI controller Tape drives that use a controller card Hard-disk drives installed in the optional external drive bay assembly NOTE: If you are installing a SCSI hard-disk drive in the internal drive bays, see Chapter 10, "Installing Hard-Disk Drives." To remove or install drives in the external bays, you must remove the computer covers and front bezel according to the instructions in "Removing the Computer Cover" in Chapter 7. To protect the inside of the computer from foreign particles, a plastic front-panel insert covers each empty external drive bay. Before you install a drive in an empty bay, you must first remove the front-panel insert. Whenever you remove a drive, be sure to replace the front-panel insert over the empty bay. To remove the front-panel insert for a drive bay you intend to use, first remove the front bezel as instructed in "Removing the Front Bezel" in Chapter 7. Then, facing the inside of the front bezel, press against the center of the insert with your thumbs until the insert bows sufficiently to loosen the tabs on the sides of the insert. Pull the insert out of the bezel. To replace a front-panel insert, position the insert over the bay opening from the inside of the front bezel and carefully press the insert into place. A tab on each side of the insert snaps into a corresponding latch on the inside of the front bezel. 9-2 Dell PowerEdge 4300 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
