MultiBay Devices

The MultiBay supports a CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM drive, LS- 120 drive, second hard drive, or a third battery pack.

CAUTION: Some but not all MultiBay devices can be hot plugged. Refer to "Bay Configuration" in this chapter to determine if the computer must be on or off before inserting or removing MultiBay devices. This helps protect the computer or the device from damage or data loss.

Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Before touching the hard drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object.

Inserting a MultiBay Device

1.If your device is not hot-pluggable, turn off the computer.

2.Insert the device into the MultiBay until it locks into place.

IMPORTANT: If installing a second hard drive, insert the hard drive into a hard drive adapter before installing the drive into the MultiBay.
