Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell DT488 16X 48X Serial ATA internal DVD-ROM drive, and what step do people get wrong?

Mount the drive in a standard 5.25-inch bay, secure it with screws, and connect the Serial ATA data and power cables; the step people get wrong is forgetting to attach both the data and power connectors before closing the case.

What maintenance or replacement will the Dell DT488 16X 48X Serial ATA internal DVD-ROM drive need later?

The laser lens may need occasional cleaning with a lens-cleaning disc, and the tray mechanism can wear out after heavy use, requiring drive replacement if discs fail to read consistently.
