Chapter 6, Installing Drives
The power supply for the computer will support a total of nine internal drives,
including the floppy drive. Do not exceed a total of nine such drives in the
internal drive bays, and do not exceed the power consumption levels specified
in "Power requirements" on page 150. Additional
external
drives, with their
own power supplies, are fine, however.
If
you wish to install a 3.5 inch drive in the 5.25 inch drive bay, adapters for
installing 3.5 inch drives in 5.25 inch bays are available at most computer
parts stores.
Required tools
A small Phillips-head screwdriver.
A 3.5 inch to 5.25 inch drive adapter,
if
you are installing a 3.5 inch drive in a
5.25 inch bay.
A drive rail, if you are installing a drive in a 5.25 inch bay other than the
bottom one.
Software drivers, if required.
