Product: HP Z4 G4 Workstation (1JP11AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

How does one install a 5.25 standard CD DVD drive in the tool free drive bays. I understand that you need an adapter for the slims but I am putting in a standard size so no Adapter is needed. There seems to be no way to put the screws in because it uses pins to snap in place. Would someone be kind enough to advise on this matter

Yes thanks I read that more than once. However not having opened up my machine yet, the sides of the drive bay are not accessible with the tool free chases? So how is it seared to the case??? That is what I need to know. Is there a slide out tray?
