Internal Structure of the Computer
The internal structure of the C-Series computer can vary
depending on the model. The system board may vary in each
model so each system is supplied with a software copy of it’s own
System Board User’s manual.
The system board has a number of expansion slots which may
have adapter cards already fitted (e.g. a PCI graphics card). There
may also be other adapter cards for connecting to items such as a
network or a tape drive unit.
The floppy disk drive can be found in the smaller centre drive
cage. The hard disk drive can be found underneath the floppy disk
drive. This leaves room for expansion in the larger drive bay for
external drives such as ZIP drive, tape backup drive and a CD-
ROM drive (unless already fitted).
WARNING:
Remember that electricity is dangerous. If you do not unplug your computer, you
may damage the parts inside it. You may also damage yourself.
We strongly recommend you to wear an earthing wristband when touching
internal computer parts to avoid damage due to static electricity. See page 45 for
details on how to attach a wristband to your computer.
