Adding an additional hard drive
The E1400 Mid Tower hard drive cage can hold up to three 3.5-inch hard
drives.
To add an additional hard drive:
1 Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2 Remove the right panel. (See “Removing the side panels” on page 19 and
observe the “Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)
3 Choose the bay in the drive cage where you want to install the additional
hard drive. The metal tray that will the hold the hard drive is secured
by a set of hard drive tray release tabs.
Important The IDE controller supports two IDE devices. If you want
to install a third hard drive you need to install an add-in
controller card.
