Connecting the External Media Bay (Optional)
To connect a device in the external media bay (see Figure 1-3) to the computer,
perform the following steps.
NOTE: To avoid overheating the computer, do not place the external media bay close
to the air inlet or fan intake/exhaust vents.
1. To install a device in the media bay, slide the device into the bay until you
hear the click that indicates that the device is fully seated.
2. Connect the larger of the media bay cable's two connectors to the device
through the slot in the back of the bay.
Make sure that the securing clips are fully engaged and the connector is
fully seated.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the media bay connector on the computer.
NOTES: For information on using the external media bay with different operating
systems and programs, see your User's Guide.
You can use the media bay cable in the same manner to connect a stand-alone device
to the computer.
