The following illustration shows the locations of the drive bays

The following table describes some of the drives that you can install in each bay and their height requirements.

Bay 1 - Max Height: 25.4 mm (1.0 in.)

Bay 2 - Max Height: 41.3 mm (1.6 in.)

Bay 3 - Max Height: 12.7 mm (0.5 in.)

3.5-inch diskette drive (preinstalled in some models)

CD-ROM drive (standard in some models) 3.5-inch hard disk drive (preinstalled)

Notes:

1.Drives that are greater than 41.3 mm (1.6 in.) high cannot be installed.

2.Install removable media (tape or CD) drives in the accessible bay: bay 1 or 2.

Installing a drive

To install a CD drive or DVD drive in bay 2, follow these steps.

1.Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover - small desktop model” on page 26).

2.If you are installing a drive with removable media, insert a flat–blade screwdriver into one of the slots on the static shield in the drive bay into which you installed the drive and gently pry the static shield loose from the drive bay.

3.Make sure the drive is set correctly as the master device. Refer to the documentation that comes with your CD drive or DVD drive for master/slave jumper information.

4.Lift the latch and remove the drive mounting tray.

5.Install the drive into the bay. Align the screw holes and insert the four screws.
