Removing a 3.5" Media Card Reader or Diskette Drive The 3.5" external drive bay may be populated with a diskette drive or a media card reader. The removal procedure is the same for both devices. 1. Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer. 2. Remove all removable media, such as diskettes or compact discs, from the computer. 3. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices. 4. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and the computer, and disconnect any external devices. CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the power cord to avoid damage to the internal components of the computer. 5. Remove the access panel and front bezel. 6. If the device is a media card reader, disconnect the internal USB cable from the system board. If the device is a diskette drive, disconnect the power and data cables from the back of the drive. 7. Remove the two retainer screws that secure the drive to the bay (1) then slide the drive forward and out of the bay (2).
