Installing a Drive in a Horizontal Bay

This section describes how to install a drive in a horizontal bay.
Although the illustrations show a diskette or hard disk drive in
the lower bay, you can use these instructions to install a drive
in the upper bay. You'll find steps for the following procedures:
q Attaching the mounting frames to a hard disk drive (if
necessary)
Installing the drive
q
Connecting the cables.
q
If you are installing your computer's first hard disk drive, it is
best to use the vertical drive bay as described on page 5-5.
Before you install a hard disk drive, be sure to check the
jumpers on the drive. For instructions, see page 5-4.
Depending on the type of drive you are installing, you may
need to attach mounting frames to it before you install it in a
horizontal bay. Follow these guidelines:
q If you are installing a diskette drive, skip to "Installing the
Drive" on page 5-18.
q If you install a hard disk drive that has a 3.5-inch form
factor, it must have mounting frames to fit properly in the
horizontal bay. Follow the steps in the next section.
q If you are installing a hard disk drive that already has
mounting frames on it, see if it also has a plastic guiderail
and metal grounding plate attached to it. If so, follow step 1
on page 5-6 to remove the guiderail and grounding plate.
Then go to "Installing the Drive" on page 5-18.
