Installing and removing storage devices
Your system supports one 3.5-inch and five 5.25-inch internal storage devices. The empty drive bays allow you to install additional drives such as a CD-ROM drive, a digital audio tape (DAT) drive or another hard disk drive. These would provide your system additional storage capacity.
Note: Your basic system already comes pre-installed with a CD- ROM drive and a 3.5-inch floppy drive.
Replacing the 3.5-inch floppy drive
1Remove the housing panels. Refer to page 36 for more detailed instructions.
2Disconnect the power and signal cables from the old drive.
3Detach the old 3.5-inch drive with the drive frame from the housing by removing the two chassis screws. Keep the screws for later use.
4Remove the four frame screws that hold the old drive to the drive frame then pull out the drive.
5Install a new 3.5-inch drive to the drive frame and secure it with the four frame screws you have previously removed.
