Installing Internal Storage Devices

Your Macintosh has three internal drive bays: one optical drive bay and two hard drive bays. In most configurations, a single hard disk drive occupies the top hard drive bay and an optical drive is located in the front optical drive bay.

You can add a Serial ATA disk drive to the empty slot in the hard disk drive bay. The drives must meet these specifications:

•Type: Serial ATA

•Width: 3.9 inches (102 mm)

•Depth: 5.7 inches (147 mm)

•Height: 1.0 inch

Important: Use the original Apple cables that came with your Macintosh when you install ATA or optical drives.

For more information about requirements and devices supported, see your Apple Authorized Reseller and the support section of the Apple website at www.apple.com/support.
