Drives

Adding a Drive to the System

The internal hard drive and optical drive are standard features of the notebook. The type of optical drive varies by notebook model. Hard drive capacity can also be added with a microdrive PC Card or an external hard drive.

Some notebook models include an optional diskette drive or an optional HP USB Digital Drive. The HP USB Digital Drive can be connected to one of the USB connectors or to the optional Digital Bay.

An optional disk drive can also be added to the system by attaching it to one of the USB connectors or to the 1394 connector.

For more on connecting external devices, see Chapter 6, “External Device Connections.” For details about PC Cards, see Chapter 8, “Hardware Upgrades.”
