When you install an internal drive, it is important to note what type and size of drive that you can install in each bay. Also, it is important to correctly connect the internal drive cables to the installed drive.

Drive specifications

Your computer comes with the following IBM-installed drives:

vA CD drive or DVD drive in bay 1 (some models)

vA 3.5-inch diskette disk drive in bay 3

vA 3.5-inch hard drive in bay 4

Models that do not have drives installed in bays 1 and 2 have a static shield and bay panel installed.

The following illustration shows the locations of the drive bays.

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

Bay 1 - Maximum Height: 41.3 mm (1.6 in.)

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

Bay 3 - Maximum Height: 25.4 mm (1.0 in.)

Bay 4 - Maximum Height: 25.4 mm (1.0 in.)

CD-ROM drive (standard in some models) 5.25-inch hard disk drive

5.25-inch hard disk drive

3.5-inch hard disk drive (requires a mounting bracket)

CD-ROM drive DVD-ROM drive

3.5-inch diskette drive (preinstalled) 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 bays: bay 1 or 2.
