■ Installing and Removing Drives
The system unit houses a total of three accessible drives (two 5 1/4-inch drives and one 3 1/2-inch
drive) and one non-accessible half-height (Slimline) drive.
IDE drives
By default four IDE drives are supported. Ideally hard disks are connected to IDE port 1, and accessible
drives, for example CD-ROMs, to IDE port 2 (see also the Technical Manual for the system board).
Installing an accessible drive
1 Open the system unit (see "Opening the system unit").
2 Pry the plastic drive cover (A) out of the front cover.
3 Pry the shielding plate (B) on left-hand side out of the bay.
Do not to throw away the plastic covers. For cooling, protection against fire and in order to
comply with EMC regulations, you must refit the plastic covers if you remove the drive again
later.
4 Take the new drive out of its packaging.
5 Make the required changes to the drive settings (if necessary, to the settings of installed
drives as well).
