Caution

Installing or removing a disk drive is a complicated procedure, so you may want to ask your dealer to do it for you. If you decide to do it yourself, you must carefully follow all the instructions in this appendix or you could damage your equipment.

Using the Correct Drive Bay

The upper horizontal drive bay probably contains the diskette drive that came with your system. That drive can be one of the following types:

Cl 51/4-inch diskette drive

031/2-inch diskette drive with a 51/4-inch mounting frame installed on it.

You can install an additional drive of one of the following types in the lower horizontal drive bay:

0 51/4-inch diskette drive

Cl 31/2-inch diskette drive with a 51/4-inch mounting frame installed on it

Cl 31/2-inch hard disk drive with a pair of 51/4-inch mounting frames installed on it.

Your computer may have come with a hard disk drive already installed in the vertical mounting position. If not, you can install one 3l/2-inch hard disk drive in this position.

If you are installing your first hard disk drive, it is best to install it in the vertical mounting position. If you add a second hard disk drive or diskette drive, use the lower horizontal drive bay.
