Installing and removing storage
devices

The system supports one 3.5-inch and three 5.25-inch internal storage
devices. The system comes pre-installed with a floppy drive and a

CD-ROM drive. The two empty 5.25-inch half-height bays allow you to
install additional drives such as another CD-ROM drive or a tape drive.
These would provide the system additional storage capacity.

2

Disconnect the IDE and floppy drive cables from the old drive.

3
