Replacing and Adding Drives

Installing an additional 3.5-inch device

The second 3.5-inch drive bay can be used to install a 3.5-inch device such

as a tape drive, a 100 MB or 120 MB disk storage device, or an additional

3.5-inch diskette drive. A set of rails are included in your system (in the drive

bay under the diskette drive) and are used during the installation. You will

have to purchase an IDE cable with three connectors and of sufficient length

to connect the existing devices and the new device to the riser card IDE

connector.

To install an additional device in the 3.5-inch drive bay:

1 Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if

installed), and all external peripheral devices.

2 Open the case (see “Opening the case” on page 17) and remove the front

bezel (see “To remove the front bezel:” on page 18), observing the “Static

electricity precautions” on page 15.

3 Remove the bezel insert by disengaging the retaining tab and pushing

the insert out from the back of the bezel. (You can save and replace the

insert should you need to remove the device and continue to use the

system.

)

4 Remove the 3.5-inch diskette and CD drive (see “3.5-inch diskette or CD

drives” on page 24.) This will allow access to the bottom drive bay.

Push on this tab to
