Installing internal drives

This section provides information and instructions for installing and removing
internal drives.
Internal drives are devices that your computer uses to read and store data. You can
add drives to your computer to increase storage capacity and to enable your
computer to read other types of media. Some of the different drives available for
your computer are:
v Hard disk drives
v Tape drives
v CD-ROM drives
v Removable media drives
Internal drives are installed in bays. Within this book, the bays are referred to as
bay 1, bay 2, and so on.
When you install an internal drive, it is important to note what type and size of
drive you can install in each bay. Also, it is important to correctly connect the
internal drive cables to the installed drive.
Note: If you are installing a Wake on LAN-supported network adapter, attach
the Wake on LAN cable that comes with the adapter to the Wake on
LAN connector on the system board. See "Identifying parts on the
system board" on page 22.
