Installing Internal Storage Devices
Your Macintosh has five internal drive bays. Three are in the lower part of the computer and
two are in front on top. In many configurations, a single hard disk drive occupies a
computer’s lower bay. One of the upper bays contains a DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM drive, and
some configurations have an optional Zip drive filling the other upper bay.
You can add SCSI and ATA disk drives to the empty lower drive bays.
Drives must meet these specifications:
m Width: 3.9 inches (102 mm)
m Depth: 5.7 inches (147 mm)
m Height: 1.0 inches (ATA), 1.6 inches (SCSI)
The computer provides support for the following types of internal storage devices:
m ATA devices, including ATA, ATA-2, and ATA-3 devices
m Ultra ATA devices
m Ultra-66 ATA devices
m Wide Ultra SCSI devices
m Ultra2 and Ultra160 low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices
m ATAPI drives, including CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, and Zip drives
