Installing a 3 1/2-Inch Hard Drive — Desktop
The desktop system has an internal hard drive bay located
near the right rear corner of the chassis, above the power
supply. It also has an accessible 3 1/2-inch bay that can
accommodate a second diskette drive, or a second hard drive.
You can upgrade the system by replacing the existing hard
drive, or by adding a hard drive to the 3 1/2-inch accessible
device bay. (For instructions on adding an additional hard
drive, see "Installing an Additional 3 1/2-Inch Device —
Desktop").

bay, proceed as follows.
1. Follow the preinstallation instructions that come with
your device, such as setting jumpers.
