What you need to know about installing internal drives

This chapter explains how to enhance the capabilities of your computer by adding internal
devices such as an additional hard disk.
Installing an internal drive involves these steps:
Preparing the drive (page 100)
Removing the cover (page 103)
Installing the drive (page 106)
Installing any required software drivers (page 147)
CAUTION: The power supply for the computer will support a total of nine internal
drives, including the ßoppy drive. Do not exceed a total of nine such drives in the
internal drive bays, and do not exceed the power consumption levels speciÞed in
ÒPower requirementsÓ on page 159. Additional external drives, with their own power
supplies, are Þne, however.
