3 System upgrade

Configuring a 5-25 inch storage device

The three 5.25-inch device bays support a variety of storage devices for

additional storage capacity and scalability. Go to page 4 for a list of

supported storage devices.

The system ships with a DVD-ROM drive installed on the topmost

device bay. You can choose to replace the default drive, or you can

install a new storage device on the middle or bottom-most device bay.

To install an optional storage device:

1 Perform the pre-installation instructions described on page 35.

2 If you intend to replace a default storage device—the DVD drive—

go to the next step.

If you intend to install a new storage device on the middle or

bottm-most device bay, go to step 5.

3 Disconnect the power and data cable (IDE data cable) from rear of

the old drive.

4 Remove the default drive you intend to replace.

(1) Move the release slider of the selected drive to the unlock

position .

(2) Pull the drive out of the device bay.

The figure below shows how to uninstall the DVD-ROM drive.

Proceed to step 6 for instructions on how to install a new

storage device.

5 Remove the two screws that secure the cover of the empty

5.25-inch drive bay (1), then detach the cover (2).
