Adding a Drive to the System

Drives enable you to store and access data.
A standard removable drive can be added to the system by
inserting the drive into the MultiBay of an optional External
MultiBay or docking station. A USB drive can be added by
connecting the drive to a USB connector on the tablet PC or on
the docking station. Hard drive functions can also be added with
a microdrive PC Card.
For information about connecting a USB drive, see the "External
Device Connections" chapter. For information about PC Cards,
see the "Hardware Upgrades" chapter. For general information
about inserting and removing drives from an External MultiBay
or docking station, refer to the documentation included with the
device.
This chapter provides specific information about using drives in
the tablet PC system.
The tablet PC hard drive bay supports only a 9.5-mm system hard
drive. A MultiBay in an External MultiBay or docking station
supports an additional 9.5-mm optional hard drive (inserted in a
MultiBay Hard Drive Adapter) and the following 12.7-mm
standard removable drives:
