Installing a 3½” Internal Hard Disk Drive

Your system comes with an available bay to hold an additional 3½” IDE
hard disk drive. Some models, such as Configure-to-Order (CTO)
systems, may already have a second hard disk drive.

Your system can support ATA-33, ATA-66, or ATA-100 hard disk drives.
The drive you install must not require front panel access. The hard disk
drive access light blinks when either internal drive is active.

1

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

2

Disconnect the power cord from the computer.

3

Remove the side panel (see

“Removing the Side Panel”

on page 22).

4

Lift the tab adjacent to the drive holder.

!

Before opening the system unit, save any open files, exit Windows, turn off

the power of the computer and all attached peripherals, and then unplug
the power cord.
