Installing internal drives

This section provides instructions on how to install the internal drives.
Internal drives are devices that your computer uses to read and store data. You can
add drives to your computer to increase storage capacity and enable your
computer to read other types of media. Some of the types of drives that are
available for your computer are:
v Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drives
v SATA optical drives, such as CD drives or DVD drives
v Removable media drives
Note: These types of drives are also referred to as integrated drive electronics
(IDE) drives.
Internal drives are installed in bays. In this manual, the bays are referred to as
bay 1, bay 2, and so on.
When you install an internal drive, it is important to note the type and size of the
drive that you can install in each bay. Also, it is important to correctly connect the
internal drive cables to the installed drive.
