MultiBay Devices
The MultiBay supports a diskette drive, LS-120 drive, Zip Drive,
second battery pack, or second hard drive.
CAUTION:
Some but not all MultiBay devices can be hot plugged.
Refer to "Bay Configuration" in this chapter to determine if the
computer must be on or off before inserting or removing MultiBay
devices. This helps protect the computer or the device from
damage, or data loss.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Before
touching the hard drive, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity by touching a grounded metal object.
Inserting Devices into the MultiBay
To install a supported device into the computer MultiBay:
1. If your device is not hot-pluggable, turn off the computer.
2. Insert the device into the MultiBay until it locks into place.
IMPORTANT:
A second hard drive must be installed into a hard
drive adapter before it is inserted into the MultiBay.
