You can install up to two internal drives in the following
configurations:
Lt
One full-height internal drive
U
Two half-height internal drives.
If you are installing a hard disk, it is best to install it in the
internal drive housing. This reserves the upper drive bays for
any externally-accessible drives you may want to add later. If
you prefer, however, you can install a hard disk in an upper
drive bay; just leave the drive slot cover installed in the front
panel.
You can install
51A-inch
drives or
3lh-inch
drives with
5Winch
mounting frames attached. See the manual that came with your
drive(s) for instructions on attaching the mounting frames, if
they are not already attached.
Before you install any device in an upper drive bay, you must
attach a plastic guiderail and a metal grounding plate to its
right side, as described in this chapter. Three guiderails, three
grounding plates, and six retaining screws came with your
computer.
Setting the IDE Hard Disk Drive Jumpers
You may need to change the hard disk drive jumper settings if
you install or remove an IDE hard disk drive. The jumpers tell
the computer whether you are using one hard disk drive or two.
Note
You do not need to set any jumpers if you are removing
your only hard disk drive.
