1-8 Dell Precision 410 Systems Service Manual
You can install both EIDE and SCSI hard-disk drives in Dell Precision 410 sys-
tems. Desktop systems have five drive bays. Mini tower systems have eight
drive bays.
Dell Precision 410 desktop systems have five drive bays for installing the fol-
lowing types of drives (see Figure 1-8):
The externally accessible drive bays at the front of the computer consist of
one 3.5-inch drive bay (dedicated to a 3.5-inch diskette drive) and two
5.25-inch drive bays that can hold up to two half-height, 5.25-inch
devices—typically tape drives or CD-ROM drives. Alternately, 3.5-inch
devices can be installed in the 5.25-inch bays using adapters available from
Dell.
NOTE: Because of the length of the bay, you can only install tape backup
units or ZIP drives in the lower 5.25-inch bay. You can install a CD-ROM
only in the top 5.25-inch bay.
The two-bay hard-disk drive cage next to the accessible bays can hold up to
two 1.6-inch hard-disk drives installed vertically. The drives must be either
EIDE hard-disk drives or SCSI hard-disk drives.
