Hardware Reference Guide
The MultiBay is an option that is pre-installed in some models. It is a
special drive bay that supports a variety of optional 12.7-mm
removable drives.
■
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
If you are installing the MultiBay option, follow the procedure
described in "Installing an Optical or other Removable Storage
Device."
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."
