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

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 card, install
the card before you install the drive.
