Configuring a 5-25 inch storage device

The three 5.25-inch device bays support a variety of storage devices for
additional storage capacity and scalability. Go to page 4 for a list of
supported storage devices.
By default, the system ships with a DVD-ROM drive installed on the
topmost device bay, and a floppy drive on the bottom-most device bay.
You can choose to replace these default drives, or you can install a new
storage device on the middle device bay.
To install an optional storage device:
1 Perform the pre-installation instructions described on page 37.
2 If you intend to replace a default storage device—the DVD drive or
the floppy drive—go to the next step.
If you intend to install a new storage device on the middle device
bay, go to step 5.
3 Disconnect the power and data cables (IDE or FDD data cable)
from rear of the old drive.
4 Remove the default drive you intend to replace.
(1) Move the release slider of the selected drive to the unlock
position
(2) Pull the drive out of the device bay.
The figure below shows how to uninstall the DVD-ROM drive.
Proceed to step 6 for instructions on how to install a new
storage device.
