CHAPTER 6
Installing the 5.25-inch Device in the
Peripheral Bay
Your system has two 5.25-inch horizontal peripheral bays. If only one device (e.g.,
CD/DVD-ROM drive) is installed in the system’s 5.25-inch peripheral bay, you can
add an optional device such as a CD/DVD/CDRW/COMBO drive, hard disk drive,
LS-120 drive, or ZIP drive in the empty peripheral bay.
To install an optional device in the bay, follow the below steps.
1. Remove the cover according to the instructions in “Removing the Cover” in
Chapter 5.
2. Remove the HDD bracket from the system chassis. For more information, see
“Replacing a Hard Disk Drive” in this chapter.
3. Remove the front panel from the chassis by pressing the four tabs.
NOTE
If you want to install a 3.5-inch hard disk drive, you must purchase the 5.25-inch
dock or mounting bracket and attach it to your 3.5-inch hard disk drive to install
your hard disk drive for the 5.25-inch bay.
