Using a Drive in a MultiBay
Selecting a MultiBay Location
The MultiBay supports up to two 12.7-mm drives 1, one each in
the top and bottom MultiBay, or one 17-mm drive 2, which fills
the Dual MultiBay.
■
A 12.7-mm diskette (floppy disk) drive can be used only in the
bottom MultiBay.
■
Other 12.7-mm drives (excluding diskette drives but including
Imation SuperDisk LS-120 drives) can be used in either the
top or bottom MultiBay.
■
A 12.7-mm drive can be used in the top MultiBay while a
MultiBay battery pack is inserted in the bottom MultiBay.
Selecting a MultiBay Drive Adapter
■
A hard drive must be placed in an adapter before the drive can
be used in a MultiBay.
■
A 12.7-mm drive other than a hard drive can be inserted into a
MultiBay without an adapter.
For information about obtaining MultiBay drive adapters, go to
the Compaq Internet site at http://www.compaq.com or refer to
Appendix A to contact a Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or
