Installing an Additional Hard Disk Drive

Your computer is equipped with an available bay to accommodate an
additional 3.5-inch hard disk drive. The hard disk drive access light is lit
when either drive is activated, however, the drives are not accessible from
the front panel. Sony recommends an ATA-100 hard disk drive to take full
advantage of the system's features.
✍
Some models, such as Configure-to-Order (CTO) systems, may already have a second hard
disk drive installed.
!
Before opening the system unit, save and close all open files, exit all open
applications, turn off the power to all attached peripheral devices, shut
down the computer, and unplug the power cord.
1
Configure the jumpers on the new drive as a slave device (see your
new drive's documentation for configuration instructions).
