Hardware Protocols
Using the removable hard disk drive
The rear panel of the D3PC has a 2.5” removable
drive bay. This single bay has at least one hard
drives inside it. Some systems are congured with
two separate drives inside this single carrier (a C
drive for Windows and applications, and a D drive
for data.)
If this is the only hard drive in the system, do NOT
remove it when the system is powered on! This will
cause Windows to crash very badly. If you have an
internal hard drive which has the Windows operat-
ing system, then removing the external drive is
permitted when power is on, because you are not
writing to it at that time.
To remove the hard drive, you must have access
to the keylock. Turn the key into the lock and then
press the large button beside the lock to eject the
drive. To insert another drive, reverse these steps.
Using external optical read/write drives
Because the D3PC does not include an optical drive,
you are free to purchase one from any computer
retailer, and connect it to your D3PC via one of the
USB 2.0 ports.
- The D3PC is compatible with external optical drives
which are Windows7 compatible.
The removable HDD is located on the rear panel. Two keys
are provided with your system, so that you may remove the
HDD and replace it with a different one.
