Installing Storage Devices
You can install additional storage devices if, for example, you need extra storage space for your application software.
Your computer already has one hard disk drive installed in an internal front shelf. You can install another 3.5-inch hard
disk drive in the internal back shelf, beneath the power supply, or a 5.25-inch hard disk drive in the front lower 5.25-inch
storage device shelf.
Your computer has a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive installed in a front-access device shelf. Four more front-access device
shelves are available to install other drives (only three shelves are available if you already have a CD-ROM drive
installed).
