Installing an optical drive
The system comes with a 5.25-inch drive bay for an optical drive.
If you plan to install an IDE hard disk drive, set the optical drive as a
slave device before installing it to the system. Refer to the optical drive
documentation for details on how to set the drive as slave device.
To install an optical drive:
1.
Remove the front panel assembly following the instructions in section
"2.3.2 Removing the front panel assembly".
2.
Drive a screw on the top right
screw hole on both sides of
the drive. The screw holes are
approximately 5 cm from the
drive front panel and 2 cm
from the drive base.
3.
Lay the system on its side in a
flat and stable surface.
4.
Carefully pull the IDE and audio
cables and plugs out from the
bay until the cables are long
enough to connect to the drive.
5.
Connect the IDE cable to the IDE
interface at the back of the
drive. Match the red stripe on
the cable with Pin 1 on the IDE
interface.
6.
Connect the optical drive audio
cable to the 4-pin connector at
the back of the optical drive.
The IDE and audio plugs are pre-connected to the primary IDE and
internal audio connectors on the motherboard. If you disconnected these
plugs, refer to page 4-5 and 4-7 for their respective locations.
