Your slimline computer can hold up to four mass storage devices, including the diskette drive that came with your system. You can replace the existing hard disk drive in the internal mounting bracket below the diskette drive. In the externally accessible bays, you can install a CD-ROM drive or another type of drive.

To install or remove a drive, first follow the instructions under “Removing the Cover” in Chapter 4. Then remove any option cards that may be in your way. Once you have installed the drive, replace any option cards you removed. See “Installing an Option Card” in Chapter 4 for instructions.

Some of the steps in this chapter may not apply for the drive you are installing. See the documentation that came with your drive for more information.

Removing the Drive Mounting Bracket

Your computer has a 3.5-inch diskette drive and a hard disk drive installed in a mounting bracket. In order to install or remove any drives, you must first remove the drive mounting bracket.
