Installing and removing drives
The PC casing can accommodate a total of five drives:
● three accessible drives
(two 5 1/4 inch drives and one 3 1/2 inch drive)
● two non-accessible drives
(both 3 1/2 inch drives with half installation height)
"Accessible drives" are e.g. DVD or CD ROM drives, into which a data carrier can be inserted from
outside. Non-accessible drives are e.g. hard disk drives.
IDE drives
Four IDE drives are supported as standard equipment. Ideally, hard disks are connected to IDE
interface 1 and other drives (e.g. CD ROM drive) to IDE interface 2 (see also the technical manual
for the mainboard).
