Drives

Adding a Drive to the System

Drives enable you to store and access data.

A standard removable drive can be added to the system by inserting the drive into the MultiBay of an optional External MultiBay or Docking Station. A USB drive can be added by connecting the drive to a USB connector on the tablet PC or on the Docking Station. Hard drive functions can also be added with a PC Card.

For information about connecting a USB drive, see Chapter 8, “External Device Connections.” For information about PC Cards, see Chapter 9, “Additional Hardware Options.” For general information about inserting and removing drives from an External MultiBay or Docking Station, refer to the documentation included with the device.

This chapter provides specific information about using drives in the tablet PC system.

The tablet PC hard drive bay supports only a 9.5-mm system hard drive. A MultiBay in an External MultiBay or Docking Station supports an additional 9.5-mm optional hard drive (inserted in a MultiBay Hard Drive Adapter) and the following 12.7-mm standard removable drives:

CD-ROM drive
