NOTE

Installing Mass Storage Devices

You can install additional mass storage devices, if you need extra mass
storage space for your application software.
The PC has one internal drive shelf for a hard disk drive. If your PC
already has a hard disk drive, this shelf will be occupied.
There three front access drive shelves. The top shelf is occupied by a
3.5-inch flexible disk drive. The middle shelf may be used to install a
5.2-inch flexible disk drive or a CD-ROM drive. The bottom shelf may
be used to install a 1-inch high, 5.25-inch or 3.5-inch front access
device or to install a second hard disk drive internally.
Your PC has the following connectors on the system board which may
be used by mass storage devices:
a flexible disk drive connector
•
which supports up to two flexible disk drives
two Enhanced IDE device connectors,
•
the first connector supports up to two IDE hard disk drives, the
second supports either an IDE CD-ROM or an IDE hard disk drive.
(Refer to the drive's manual to check whether you need to set
jumpers, or if there are any special installation procedures).
You may install a non-IDE mass storage device, but it will need an
accessory board and driver software (usually supplied with the device).
Contact the product vendor for further information.
