CHAPTER 5
Internal Storage Devices
46 Storage Device Slide-In Bays
This chapter describes the internal storage devices in the Macintosh LC 520 computer.
The computer accommodates one floppy disk drive, one half-high hard disk, and an
optional AppleCD 300i CD-ROM drive.
IMPORTANT
This chapter describes the internal storage devices in the
Macintosh LC 520 computer, but does not include design guides for
developers. Because the front drive bezel does not include a separate
component for the CD-ROM drive, and because the internal drives
are specially modified to permit slide-in mounting, Apple Computer,
Inc., does not recommend that developers provide internal storage
devices for the Macintosh LC 520 computer. ▲
Storage Device Slide-In Bays 5
The hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, and optional CD-ROM drive slide into their
respective mounting bays in the computer chassis. Connections to each drive are made
by one or more connector adapters that fit onto the connector pins on the drive. When
you slide a drive into its bay, the connector adapter fits into a matching socket at the back
of the bay. Figure 5-1 shows how the AppleCD 300i CD-ROM drive slides into its bay in
the front of the computer. The other internal storage devices are installed in much the
same way, except that the bay for the hard disk drive is in the back of the computer,
behind the removable back cover.
