The Docking Station 4000 has two bays for installing op-
tional data storage devices.
n
A front bay provides external access to storage devices
installed in it. This bay accepts two standard 5 1/4-inch
storage devices, including diskette, hard disk, tape, and
CD-ROM drives.
n
An internal bay provides space for one 3 1/2-inch hard
disk drive.
NEC Versa series systems and the docking
station support only two diskette drives. Therefore, if
you have more than two diskette drives installed in
the NEC Versa and docking station, you can only
access two of them.
Some storage devices require that you provide a
signal cable. For example, to install a SCSI device,
you need to purchase an optional SCSI signal cable.
Follow the instructions in the next section to prepare your
drive for installation in the docking station.
Read the documentation that came with the drive before be-
ginning the installation procedure. Set any switches that
need to be set on the drive.
If your drive comes with locking rails, do not use them. If
the drive has locking rails attached, remove them.
