Replacing and adding drives

One 3.5-inch diskette drive, one 3.5-inch hard drive, and one CD-ROM

drive come with your computer. You can add additional drives of the

following types:

•

Half-height 3.5- inch diskette drives. The riser card has a floppy

controller that supports up to two floppy devices, one of which is

the 3.5-inch diskette drive that comes with your computer.

•

Half-height 3.5- or 5.25-inch hard drives. The riser card has two

IDE connectors that support up to two drives each. To use another

type of hard drive, such as a SCSI drive, install an add-in card.

As you prepare to install drives, keep the following in mind:

•

To remove and install drives, you need a grounding wrist strap and

a Phillips screwdriver. If you remove a drive, place it in an

antistatic bag.
