Installing and removing internal drives
This section provides information and instructions for installing and removing
internal drives.
Internal drives are devices that the computer uses to read and store data. You can
add drives to the computer to increase storage capacity and to enable the computer
to read other types of media. Some of the different drives that are available are:
v Hard disk drives

Internal drives are installed in bays. In this book, the bays are referred to as bay 1,
bay 2, and so on.
When installing an internal drive, it is important to note what type and size of
drive that can be installed in each bay. Also, it is important to correctly connect the
internal drive cables to the installed drive.
