Installing an additional 3.5-inch device

The second 3.5-inch drive bay can be used to install a 3.5-inch device, such
as a tape drive or 100MB or 120MB disk storage device. A set of rails are
included with your system and are used during the installation. You will
have to purchase an IDE cable with three connectors and of sufficient
length to connect the existing hard drive and the new drive to the riser card
IDE connector.
