Chapter 5
Installing and Removing Drives
Your computer can hold up to three drives in two externally
accessible drive bays and one internal drive bay. Your system
may have drives installed in one or more of these drive bays.
You can remove existing drives and install a variety of devices,
such as hard disk drives, diskette drives, tape drives, CD-ROM
drives, PCMCIA card readers, optical drives, and other mass
storage devices.
Although your drive may look different from the ones
illustrated here, you should be able to install it the same way.
Some of the steps in this chapter may not apply for the drive
you are installing. See the documentation that came with your
drive for more information.
Use the table below to find the information you need to install
your drive.
