Working with the MultiBay Option
The MultiBay option is a special drive bay that supports a variety of
optional 12.7-mm removable drives, including:
■ MultiBay CD-ROM Drive*
■ MultiBay CD-RW Drive
■ MultiBay DVD-ROM Drive
■ MultiBay CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive
■ MultiBay SMART Hard Drive
* Can be hot-plugged or hot-swapped
✎
The installation procedure for installing the MultiBay option is the
same as described for installing an optical drive. Refer to “Installing
an Optional Optical Drive” for details.
✎
When installing the MultiBay option, connect the data cable to a
PATA connector on the system board that is not being used by
another device. Otherwise, a POST error message will occur.

CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or a drive:
■ Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.
■ Before traveling with, shipping, storing, or removing a drive other
than a hard drive, make sure that no media, such as a CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM, is in the drive and that the media tray is closed.
■ Handle a drive carefully: do not use excessive force when inserting it,
do not drop it, and do not press on the top cover.
■ Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or
products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers.
■ If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or
other suitable protective packaging and label the package “Fragile:
Handle with Care.”
