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, diskette, tape,
CD-ROM, and optical drives. 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 another type of
drive.
To install or remove a drive, first remove the computer’s cover
as described in Chapter 3. Then remove any option cards that
may be in your way. Once you have installed the drive, replace
any option cards you removed. See Chapter 3 for instructions.
