Adding a Drive to the System
The internal hard drive and optical drive are standard features of the notebook. The type of optical drive varies by notebook model.
An optional drive can be added to the system by connecting it, as instructed in the drive documentation, to one of the USB ports or to the 1394 port. Hard drive capacity can also be added with a microdrive PC Card or a digital memory card such as an SD Card.
Using the IDE Drive Light
Internal hard drive or optical drive activity is indicated by the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) light.
