9. Select the slot from which you want to remove the media device.
10. Complete the prerequisite tasks. For instructions, see Before you begin.
11. If you are removing the media device as part of another procedure, continue to the next step. If you are removing the media device because of a system failure, see Identifying a part.
    Attention: Follow these instructions exactly to avoid data loss or system damage.
12. Remove the front cover:
    • For a rack-mounted system, see Removing the front cover from a rack-mounted model .
    • For a stand-alone system, see Removing the front cover from a stand-alone model .

    Attention: Media devices are fragile. Handle with care.
15. Find the package that contains the new media device and remove it from the static-protective package.
    Attention:

    • Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging your hardware.
    • When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.
    • If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
16. Align the replacement media device with the Slimline media bay and support the bottom of the device as you slide it halfway into the system unit. Do not push the device in any farther, because you might install the device out of sequence.
17. While holding the retaining tab (A), push the device (B) fully into the system as shown in the following figure.
