Installing or Removing a Disk Drive in the Horizontal Position
This section describes how to install or remove a hard disk drive
or a diskette drive in the lower horizontal drive bay. You can use
these same instructions if you need to install a different diskette
drive in the upper drive bay; however, the illustrations show the
lower bay.
If you are installing a second hard disk or diskette drive, you
must install it in the lower horizontal drive bay. Your first
diskette drive is in the upper bay and your first hard disk is in
the vertical mounting position.
If you have a hard disk drive installed in the vertical mounting
position, you must remove it before you remove or install a
drive in the horizontal drive bay. This enables you to access
the mounting holes and screws for the horizontal bay. See
“Removing a Hard Disk From the Vertical Position” starting on
page 7-21.
