Installing a 3.5-inch Internal Hard Disk Drive

Models that have only one hard disk drive have an available bay to hold an additional 3.5-inch hard disk drive. The drive you install must not require front panel access. Your system can support ATA-33, ATA-66 or ATA-100 hard disk drives. Sony recommends an ATA-100 hard disk drive to take full advantage of the system's features. The hard disk drive access light blinks when either internal drive is active.

!Before opening the system unit, save and close all open files, exit all open applications, turn off the power to all attached peripheral devices, shut down the computer, and unplug the power cord.

1Configure the jumpers on the new drive as a slave device (see your drive’s documentation for configuration instructions).
