How to set up Antec Aria CD-ROM panel?

[jared]

Hi, all,

I just assembled a PC in an Antec Aria case. I have one problem I
haven't solved yet, though, and I am hoping someone in the group has
built with one of these cases before.

I cannot figure out how to set up the front 5.25" panel cover (a small
rectangular piece of balck plastic) with my CD-R. I thought it should
swing open when the tray emerges and swing back up as the tray recedes
- but I'm darned if I see how to hook it up. Has anyone done this?
Would you mind sharing?

TIA -

Kind regards,
jh

As far as I'm aware, you don't. When the drive opens, it pushes the
panel down and when it retracts, the panel returns. You have to use
whatever option it is in the OS you're using to open the CD rather than
pressing the front panel button.

Hmm...sounds like there should be some sort of spring on the door.
Perhaps that's what is wrong or missing. Thank you!

If you believe there is something wrong or missing, call Antec---I
understand they are pretty good about correcting problems like that.
