Installing a drive in the disk drive tray

This section provides information and instructions for installing and removing internal drives.

Internal drives are devices that your computer uses to read and store data. You can add drives to your computer to increase storage capacity and to enable your computer to read other types of media. Some of the different drives that are available for your computer are:

vHard disk drives

vTape drives

vCD drives or DVD drives

vDiskette and other removable media drives

When you install an internal drive, it is important to note what type and size of drive that you can install in each bay. Also, it is important to correctly connect the internal drive cables to the installed drive.

To install a drive in the disk drive tray, follow these steps.

1.Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 9.

2.Remove the disk drive tray. See “Accessing system board components and drives” on page 11 and “Locating components” on page 10.

3.Remove the bay panel from the drive bay by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver at the end and gently prying it loose.

4.Remove the metal shield from the drive bay by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into one of the slots and gently prying it loose.

5.Install the drive into the bay. Align the screw holes, and insert the two screws.
