Overview

Your Dell computer has three drive bays for installing the following types of drives (see Figure 1)

The externally accessible drive bays at the front of the computer consist of one 3.5-inch drive bay (dedicated to a 3.5-inch diskette drive) and one 5.25-inch bay that can hold one half-height, 5.25-inch device—typically a tape drive or CD-ROM drive. Alternately, a 3.5-inch device can be installed in the 5.25-inch bay using adapters available from Dell.

The hard-disk drive bay (located to the left of the externally accessible drive bays) can hold a 3.5-inch enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) or small computer system interface (SCSI) hard-disk drive.

The next two subsections contain information that you will need in several of the installation procedures described later in this section. The remaining subsections cover each type of drive installation.

NOTE: In all of the following procedures, left and right refer to your left and right as you face the front of the computer.
