Adding Drives

Your HP Pavilion PC has three drive bays:

•The top bay (bay 1) contains a DVD or CD-ROM drive.

•Bay 2 is empty; it can accommodate a 5.25-inch drive.

•Bay 3 contains the Digital Camera Port; it can also accommodate an internal 3.5-inch drive (such as a hard drive).

Note: If the Digital Camera Port is removed, bay 3 can

accommodate a 5.25-inch removable-media drive.

This section describes how to access bays 2 and 3 so that you can install drives in them.

To install a 5.25-inch drive in bay 2:

1Remove the back panel (see “Removing the Back Panel” on page 37).

2Remove the right side panel (see “Removing the Right Side Panel” on page 38).

3Remove the left side panel (see “Removing the Left Side Panel” on page 39).

4If necessary, reach inside the drive bay and push the bay 2 insert out.

Warning: The insert may pop out forcefully.

5Install the drive in the bay 2 drive tray.

6Install the two screws on each side of the bay 2 drive tray.

7Attach the power cable to the back side of the drive.
