Then take out the screw on the bottom of the fan holder and be carefull not to drop it in the innerds of the Mac Pro.(You can remove the glue with some gasoline and glue them back again if you want to really fix this, but observe the original positions.) Just press them back in their original place. Because the magnets are fixed to the alumium with thin, double sided tape that isn’t very resistend to warmth, chances are one or two have come lose. Take of the aluminium, magnetically fixed ‘hood’ next to the plastic fan holder case.There is a black, 4-pins connector ‘hidden’ in the back that you can use for power.

This how-to should work with just about any compatible model aftermarket internal drive, but I would Google the exact type before you order it. I used an LG BH10LS30, but Amazon no longer sells them. For example, the LG WH10LS30 is not fully compatible with all Mac Pro models (it works with the Mac Pro 5. The Mac Pro so far works with ‘any compatible model’ but that is the problem: Several blu-ray burner models don’t work with OS X. So I think it’s safe to say Blu-ray works with all Mac Pro models, at least in this time-line. So far, I have received mails from people claiming successfully building the BH10LS30 in Mac Pro models from 1.1 (week 32, 2006) to the Mac Pro 2010 models. Update: It’s hard to find info about what models are supported. I don’t understand why people make such a big deal out of this or why Apple doesn’t sell them.
