I saw our CE install ours.  We have the internal version and it comes with a
install kit.  It looked easy.  Do you have an internal tape drive? There is
some trick to the internal SCSI cable connectors - you don't want to pull
them off the internal disk drives or tape (if you have one).
 
Also, be sure you have a SCSI address available - if you have external
SCSI drives connected to the internal SCSI controller and you have 6
devices (e.g. 1 internal tape, 2 internal disk, 3 external disk)
- that's as far as you can go. To install the cd-rom, you will
*have* to move a drive to another SCSI controller, if you have one. If not,
you will have to add a SCSI controller board, then move the drive(s) over
to it before adding the cd-rom.
