NOTES
Installing a drive in the bottom 5.25" bay requires removal of the right side panel (seen from the
front of the system). A drive can be installed in this bay with screws through the sides of the
exertnal-access drive bay. As with any additional external-access drive, you must also remove the
cover plates in the front panel of the chassis and in the front cover.
Installing an additional hard drive requires removal and replacement of the hard drive carrrier,
under the external-access drive bay. This can be accomplished without removing the right side
panel.
