Installing an additional 3.5-inch device

The second 3.5-inch drive bay can be used to install a 3.5-inch device such as a tape drive, a 100 MB or 120 MB disk storage device, or an additional 3.5-inch diskette drive. A set of rails are included in your system (in the drive bay under the diskette drive) and are used during the installation. You will have to purchase an IDE cable with three connectors and of sufficient length to connect the existing devices and the new device to the riser card IDE connector.

To install an additional device in the 3.5-inch drive bay:

1Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if installed), and all external peripheral devices.

2Open the case (see “Opening the case” on page 17) and remove the front bezel (see “To remove the front bezel:” on page 18), observing the “Static electricity precautions” on page 15.

3Remove the bezel insert by disengaging the retaining tab and pushing the insert out from the back of the bezel. (You can save and replace the insert should you need to remove the device and continue to use the system.

)

Push on this tab to remove the insert
