WARNING Do not remove any factory-installed cards from inside your computer. Removing a factory-installed card at an angle can damage your equipment. Any NuBus™ expansion cards installed in your computer will not operate properly if the factory-installed card is removed. If a factory-installed card needs to be removed, see an Apple-authorized service provider.

Installing internal drives

Your Macintosh can hold up to three internal storage devices, including a floppy disk drive, a CD-ROM drive, and a hard disk drive (several capacities are available). These drives may already be installed. If you want to add an internal drive to your Macintosh, see your Apple-authorized dealer.
