(Figure 8)
Note for SuperDrives:
 
 Use the standoffs with a Phillips head on Sony drives; use 
the standoffs with a hex head on Toshiba and Pioneer drives.
2. Insert the drive part way into the optical drive bay. Bend down the free end of the 
ribbon cable, route it through the opening at the back of the media shelf, and connect 
the cable to the logic board.
3. Connect the power cable to the drive. 
4. Slide the drive the rest of the way into the drive bay, aligning the optical drive standoffs 
in the slots, and gently push the drive into place.
 
Note:
 
 The optical drive levers should close when the drive is installed correctly. If 
they don’t, gently push them closed.
