Question

Dell precision 380 cdrom replacement

Aug 8, 2013 5:55AM PDT

Hello all. I have a dell precision 380 workstation. I am trying to replace the stock CdRom drive with a blue-ray burner. Right now I have it hanging out of the open case as I can't figure out the hardware puzzle to install it properly, The drive works well but is butt ugly hanging out like that. Not to mention destroying proper air flow inside the case. Anyone have a clue? Installing RAM and a 320 gig hard drive was a breeze. Short of using a crowbar on it. I am without a clue how to swap out the cdrom drive . any help appreciated .

Thanks
