Five bays are available for the system, as shown in Figure 25. One is
reserved for the diskette drive (bay 1) and one for the internal CD-ROM drive
(bay 2).
The Model 260 comes with a standard Ultra-SCSI 16-bit Disk Drive installed
in bay 4. Up to three internal disks can be installed in the system.
Bay 3, a 5.25 inch bay, can accommodate a second CD-ROM, tape drive, or
other disk device. If you want to install a 4.5 GB Ultra SCSI Disk Drive
(# 2900) or a 9.1 GB Ultra SCSI 16-Bit 1-Inch High Disk Drive (# 2908), you
have to use the 5.25 inch Media Bay Mounting Kit (# 6508).
