System Features 11
Drives
The standard configuration for your computer includes a 1.44-MB 3.5-inch
diskette drive, a hard drive, and a CD-ROM drive. You can install five
additional drives in the computer. Two IDE controllers and a diskette
controller are integrated into the system board. For instructions on installing
drives, see the “Installing and Removing Components” chapter in the
Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your E-5200 System
guide
.
The first 2 GB (gigabytes) of the hard drive shipped with your Windows
NT system are partitioned as FAT (file allocation table)16. The rest of the
space on the drive is partitioned as NTFS (NT file system). Any other hard
drives shipped from the factory with your system are partitioned as NTFS.
FAT16 and NTFS are different methods the operating system uses to locate
files on a hard drive. NTFS supports large drive sizes, but NTFS partitions
cannot be viewed with MS-DOS® (Microsoft® disk operating system)
diagnostic utilities, like fdisk. See your Windows NT manual for more
information on NTFS.
Expansion Slots
Expansion slots inside the computer enable you to install add-in cards, such
as a SCSI (small computer system interface) controller. Your computer
includes three 32-bit PCI (peripheral component interconnect) slots and two
8/16-bit ISA slot. For instructions on installing add-in cards, see the
“Installing and Removing Components” chapter in the
