About replacing drives
The standard configuration for your computer includes a 5.25-inch IDE CD
drive, a 3.5-inch IDE hard drive, and a 3.5-inch diskette drive.
Your computer contains the following drive bays:
Two 3.5-inch drive bays that can be accessed from outside the computer.
Two 5.25-inch drive bays that can be accessed from outside the computer.
Three 3.5-inch drive bays that can only be accessed from inside the
computer.
As you prepare to install drives, keep the following in mind:
If you remove a drive, place it in an antistatic bag.
Before you install a drive, see the drive’s documentation for information
on configuring the drive, setting any jumpers on the drive, and attaching
cables to the drive.
If you are installing a drive that uses an add-in controller, install the
add-in card before you install the drive.
IDE hard drives can be configured as single, master, or slave. IDE CD
drives can be configured as master or slave. Configure the drives by using
the drive-select jumpers located on the drives.
