3.7 Installing Additional Devices
The housing supports one 3.5-inch and three 5.25-inch devices. The empty drive
bays on the upper front panel allow you to install additional devices such as a
Digital Audio Tape (DAT) drive or another hard disk drive.
Your basic system ships standard with a CD-
ROM drive and a 3.5-inch diskette drive
already installed.
Follow these steps to install a device:
1. Remove the upper front panel cover and the upper front panel door. See
Figures 3-5 and 3-6 for illustrations.
2. Attach the drive guides on the sides of the external device that you wish to
install.

If you are installing a SCSI device, set its ID
and terminator before installing it into the
drive bay.
