Configuring a 5-25 inch storage device
The three 5.25-inch device bays support a variety of storage devices for
additional storage capacity and scalability. Go to page 4 for a list of
supported storage devices.
By default, the system ships with a DVD-ROM drive installed on the
topmost device bay, and a floppy drive on the bottom-most device bay.
You can choose to replace these default drives, or you can install a new
storage device on the middle device bay.
To install an optional storage device:
1 Perform the pre-installation instructions described on page 37.
2 If you intend to replace a default storage device—the DVD drive or
the floppy drive—go to the next step.
If you intend to install a new storage device on the middle device
bay, go to step 5.
3 Disconnect the power and data cables (IDE or FDD data cable)
from rear of the old drive.
4 Remove the default drive you intend to replace.
(1) Move the release slider of the selected drive to the unlock
position .
(2) Pull the drive out of the device bay.
The figure below shows how to uninstall the DVD-ROM drive.
Proceed to step 6 for instructions on how to install a new
storage device.
