Adding a Drive to the System
Removable drives enable you to store and access data.
A standard drive can be added to the system by inserting the drive
into the computer or an optional docking base. A diskette drive
can also be inserted into an optional external diskette drive bay. In
addition, a USB drive can be added by connecting the drive to a
USB connector on the computer or an optional docking base.
For information about connecting a USB drive or an external dis-
kette drive bay, refer in this guide to the “Connecting External
Devices” section.
