Chapter 4
Installing and Removing Drives
This chapter describes how to install and remove optional
drives in your computer. You can use these instructions to
install a variety of devices, including hard disk drives, a
diskette drive, a tape drive, a CD-ROM drive, or an optical
drive. Although your drive may look different from the ones
illustrated here, you should be able to install it the same way.
Your computer can hold up to four mass storage devices. You
can install one hard disk drive using the internal mounting
bracket below the diskette drive. In the externally accessible
bays, you can install a second diskette drive or hard disk drive,
a tape drive, a CD-ROM drive, or an optical drive.
To install or remove a drive, first remove the computer’s cover
as described in Chapter 3. Then remove any option cards to
access the drive bracket. Once you have installed the drive,
replace any option cards you removed. See Chapter 3 for
instructions.
