Your computer may have a hard disk drive already installed in the vertical drive bay. If not, you can install one hard disk drive in this bay.

It is best to install your computer’s first hard disk drive in the vertical drive bay. If you add a second hard disk drive or diskette drive, use the lower horizontal drive bay.

How to Use This Chapter

To install or remove a drive, first remove the computer’s cover as described on page 4-4. Then see the table below for instructions you should follow next in this chapter.
