Installing a Drive into the 3.5-inch Drive Bay
Depending on the computer configuration, the 3.5-inch drive bay on
the left side of the computer may be configured with a diskette drive
or it may be an empty drive bay. The type of bezel covering the
drive bay will vary depending on the original computer configuration.
If the computer was not configured with the optional diskette drive,
you can install a 3.5-inch device, such as a diskette drive or hard
drive, into the drive bay at any time.
✎
The type of bezel you need will depend on the type of device you plan
to install. If you are installing a diskette drive, you must install a
diskette drive bezel (PN 316002-001). If you are installing a hard
drive, you must install a bezel blank (PN 316006-001). If you are
installing a 3.5-inch device other than a diskette drive or hard drive,
you must install the 3.5-inch device bezel (PN 316008-001). Contact
an authorized HP reseller or service provider to order the appropriate
bezel when reconfiguring the computer.
✎
To install a secondary PATA hard drive, you must use a dual-headed
cable (part number 108950-051).
