When we prepared the case before, we recommended that you remove the front cover(s) for the location where you wanted to install your CD-Rom and/or DVD drive. The next step is to make sure they are configured correctly, and position them in the case.

1. Remove the drive from its packaging/anti static bag. 
   
   
2. Your drive should be an IDE type drive, and we will need to configure the drive, depending on if it is installed on its own cable or not. If the drive is on its own cable, and you have already installed an SATA hard drive, then set the jumper to master on the drive. Like the hard drive we configured before, there should be a diagram somewhere on the drive, or labeled on the drive directly how to configure it as master. If the drive is sharing a cable with the hard drive, we recommend setting is as cable select if your IDE hard drive was set to cable select, or slave if the IDE hard drive has been set to master. 
   
   
3. You should have already removed the front cover of where you want it to go, so and slide the drive into the case from the front. 
   
   
4. Line up the holes with the drive and the case, and make sure the drive is flush with the front edge of the case. 
   
   
5. Attach the screws to the case to secure the drive.
   
   
6. If you have more than one CD-Rom or DVD drive to install, repeat the exact same process as above.

Now that we have all of our drives secure in the case, it is time to hook everything up.
