Installing or Removing a Disk Drive in the Horizontal Position
This section describes how to install or remove a hard disk drive or a diskette drive in the lower horizontal drive bay. You can use these same instructions if you need to install a different diskette drive in the upper drive bay; however, the illustrations show the lower bay.
If you are installing a second hard disk or diskette drive, you must install it in the lower horizontal drive bay. Your first diskette drive is in the upper bay and your first hard disk is in the vertical mounting position beside the drive bays.
