Installing internal drives - small desktop model
This section provides information and instructions for installing and removing
internal drives.
Internal drives are devices that your computer uses to read and store data. You can
add or replace drives in your computer to increase storage capacity and to enable
your computer to read other types of media such as CD-ROM.
Internal drives are installed in bays. Within this book, the bays are referred to as bay 1,
bay 2, and so on.
When you install an internal drive, it is important to note what type and size of drive
that you can install in each bay. Also, it is important to correctly connect the internal
drive cables to the installed drive.
