Installing a hard Drive in Bays 5 and 6

Drive bays 5 and 6 can be configured with either 1.0-inch or 1.6-inch hard drives. Other than using different screw holes, the installation for both drives is basically the same.

CAUTION: Use only 3/16-inch guide screws. Longer screws can damage the internal components of the drive.

If you are installing an Ultra ATA device, see “Guidelines for

Installing Ultra ATA Devices” in Appendix B.

If you are installing a SCSI device, see “SCSI Devices” in

Appendix B.
