Installing and removing drives

The system unit houses a total of four accessible drives (two 5 1/4-inch drives and two 3 1/2-inch

drives) and one non-accessible half-height (Slimline) drive.

IDE drives

By default four IDE drives are supported. Ideally hard disks are connected to IDE port 1, and

accessible drives, for example CD-ROMs, to IDE port 2 (see also the Technical Manual for the

system board).

Installing an accessible 5 1/4-inch drive

Open the system unit (see "Opening the system unit").

Remove the plastic filler panel and the protection shield.

Do not throw away the covers. For cooling, protection against fire and in order to comply

with EMC regulations, you must refit the covers if you remove the drive again later.

Take the new drive out of its packaging.
