Installing Optional Storage Devices
This section tells you how to install optional hard devices into the front and rear storage
bays.
To install an optional storage device, follow this procedure:
1. Turn off your system and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the cover, as described earlier in this chapter.
Installing Devices in the Front Bay
There are four slots in the front drive bay; the top slot contains the standard 3.5-inch RZxx
hard disk drive. The next two can accommodate optional 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch devices,
while the lowest slot contains the CD-ROM drive.
__________________________NOTE ____________________________
The two middle slots in the front drive bay can accommodate either 3.5-inch or
5.25-inch devices. If you are installing 3.5-inch devices, there are additional
brackets which must be mounted on the device before it is installed in the slot.
____________________________________________________________
To install the brackets on a 3.5-inch device, follow these steps:
1. Align the device so that the internal cable connectors are away from you.
2. Attach the brackets to the device using the four screws provided.
