Installing And Removing Drives; Removing The Front Panel - Fujitsu Siemens Computers CELSIUS M430 Operating Manual

Installing and removing drives

The PC casing can accommodate a total of eight drives:
● four accessible drives
(three 5¼" drives and one 3½" drive)
● four non-accessible drives
(3½" drives)
"Accessible drives" are e.g. DVD or CD ROM drives, into which a data carrier can be inserted from
outside. Non-accessible drives are e.g. hard disk drives.
IDE drives
Four IDE drives are supported as standard equipment. Ideally, hard disks are connected to IDE
interface 1 and other drives to IDE interface 2 (see also the manual for the mainboard).
SCSI drives
If you want to install a SCSI drive, you require a SCSI controller and a SCSI cable. Details are
provided in the manuals on the SCSI controller.

Removing the front panel

► Open the casing (see "Opening the casing").
► Detach the unlocking lever (1) and open the front panel (2).
