Adding a Drive to the System

The internal hard drive and optical drive are standard features of the computer. The type of optical drive varies by computer model.

An optional drive can be added to the system by connecting it, as instructed in the drive user guides, to one of the USB ports or to the 1394 port (select models only). Storage capacity can also be added with an optional ExpressCard or a digital card such as a Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card.

Using the IDE Drive Light

Internal hard drive or optical drive activity is indicated by the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drive light.
