Installing a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Tape, or PD-CD Drive

2-22 Upgrading the Compaq Deskpro EP Series
The computer supports up to five drives which may be installed in various
configurations.
When installing additional drives, follow these guidelines:
For optimal performance, connect hard drives to the primary
controller. Connect expansion devices, such as CD-ROM,
IDE tape, and diskette drives to the secondary controller.
You may install either a third-height or a half-height drive
into a half-height bay.
You must install guide screws to ensure the drive will line
up correctly in the drive cage. Compaq has provided extra
guide screws, installed in the front of the computer chassis,
behind the front bezel. Some options use metric hardware.
The Compaq-supplied metric screws are black.
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
computer and any external devices, disconnect the power
cord from the power outlet, and remove the computer
access panel.
