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 or a removable-cartridge
drive.
All of the drive bays in the Low-Profile system are taken up by the standard
hard drive, floppy drive, and CD-ROM drive which come with the system. The
best option for expanding drive capability on the Low-Profile system is to add
an external drive device.
CAUTION: The combined power consumption of the drives you install
internally must not exceed the limits of your computer. Refer to the
documentation that came with your drive for its power consumption
rating and to Power requirements on page 111 in this manual for the power
consumption limit for your computer.

Installation steps

Installing an internal drive involves three steps.
1. Preparing the drive (page 86).
2. Preparing the computer and inserting the drive (page 90).
3. Installing any required software drivers (page 102).
