How do I add a CD/DVD drive on my E5-722G?

TomYL

My laptop didn't come with a CD/DVD drive and I wish to add one! I removed the slot cover and I don't see any connectors that would connect with a drive if I were to put one in. Is there a connector I must order? Is this even possible for my model?

Thank you in advance!! 

Acer Aspire E5-722G-83DD

Hi,
Yes, you can install a DVD drive in this model, you need to buy a FFC cable, a bezel and possibly a bracket brook(if it's not in dummy cover).
Part number for cable: 450.04X06.001
Part number for bezel: 42.MVAN1.002
Part number for bracket:33.MVAN1.001
