monitor. You can connect a monitor that has an Apple Display Connector or a standard
VGA connector. To connect two monitors to your computer, you need to install an
additional PCI graphics card to support the additional monitor.
Battery
Your computer uses a battery that you rarely replace. If you find that your computer is
having trouble starting up, or that the system date and time are frequently incorrect, you
may need to replace the battery. For more information, see “Replacing the Battery” on
page 71.

You can install additional hard disk drives in these carriers inside your computer. If you
have ATA hard disk drives, you can install up to two drives in a single U-shaped carrier. If
your computer came with one or more SCSI hard disk drives, you can install up to three
SCSI drives in the drive carriers.
Zip drive expansion bay
You can install a Zip drive in this drive bay. You can purchase one from an Apple-authorized
dealer.
