Aptiva - 2137 Bay panels

Applicable to: World-Wide

If you remove a drive from an external bay and you do not intend to install a new drive immediately, reinstall the bay panel on the empty exposed drive bay.

Follow these steps to remove the plastic bay panel from the front of the system unit cover.

1. Hold a bay panel and press either side to unlatch it from the front of the system unit cover.

2. Pull the bay panel out.

3. Removing the system cover, exposes metal plates in front of each unpopulated drive bay. Push back and break-off these metal plates before installing additional drives.

4. Use a screwdriver to push back the metal bay plate. After pushing the metal cover for about an inch, you may use your hand to push it all the way to a 90-degree angle.

NOTE: To Reinstall A Bay Panel
