Adding a Drive to the System
Removable drives enable you to store and access data.
A standard drive can be added to the system by inserting the drive
into the notebook or optional Port Replicator. A diskette drive can
also be inserted into an optional external diskette drive bay. In
addition, a USB drive can be added by connecting the drive to a
USB connector on the notebook or an optional Port Replicator.

diskette drive bay, refer to “External Devices” chapter.
