8. Install the drive in the desired drive bay by sliding it all the way into the front of the drive cage until
it locks (2). The drivelock automatically secures the drive in the bay.
CAUTION: The bottom 5.25-inch drive bay has a shorter depth than the upper two bays. The
bottom bay supports a half-height drive or other device that is no more than 14.5 cm (5.7 inches)
in depth. Do not try to force a larger drive, such as an optical drive, into the bottom bay. This could
cause damage to the drive and the system board. The use of unnecessary force when installing
any drive into the drive bay may result in damage to the drive.
NOTE: If you are installing a third optional drive, you may need to remove the strap that bundles
the extra power connectors.
9. Connect the power cable (1) and data cable (2) to the rear of the optical drive or diskette drive.

system board connector.
NOTE: If you are installing a SATA optical drive, connect the first optical drive to the white SATA
connector on the system board labeled SATA1. Connect a second optical drive to the next available
(unpopulated) SATA connector following the numbered sequence of the connectors.
If you are installing a diskette drive, connect it to the connector on the system board labeled
FLOPPY.
If your are installing a media card reader, connect the USB cable to the USB system board
connector labeled MEDIA. If the media card reader includes a 1394 port, connect the 1394 cable
to the 1394 PCI card.
