If so, remove the sled/bracket, inspect the circuit board (CB) for some very small pins sticking out of the CB.

Some considerations ... the *thicker* 4.5 drive may be an older drive, and may run hotter. Air circulation ... Does machine (which model is it ???) have a CD drive ?

There are other reasons for its use. Seems a good procedure any time you add/subtract to/from the logic board. HTH ... Jerry -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
