Installing an Internal Hard Disk Drive

Models that have one hard disk drive are equipped with an available bay to hold an additional 3.5-inch hard disk drive. 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 drive you install must not require front panel access. 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 new drive’s documentation for configuration instructions).
