Removable Media Devices

A variety of IDE and SCSI removable media devices can be installed in
peripheral bays A, B, C, D, and E. An IDE CD-ROM is always mounted in bay
A. A 3.5-inch diskette drive is always mounted in bay C. Other devices should
be installed in the first available bay from the top (bay B). Contact your sales
representative or dealer for a list of approved devices.
