Removing and Replacing Front-Panel Inserts
Empty drive bays contain a front-panel insert to protect the inside of the computer from dust particles and also to ensure proper airflow within the
computer. Before you install a drive in an empty drive bay, you must first remove the front-panel insert.
To remove the insert covering a 5.25-inch bay, follow these steps:

2. Remove the computer cover as instructed in
3. Remove the front bezel as instructed in
4. With your thumbs, press in each end of the insert until it snaps free of the bezel (see Figure 3).
