Adding an additional hard drive

The mid tower hard drive cage can hold up to three 3.5-inch hard drives.

To add an additional hard drive:

Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.

Remove the right panel. (See “Removing the side panels” on page 19 and
observe the “Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)

Choose the bay in the drive cage where you want to install the additional
hard drive. The metal tray that will hold the hard drive is secured by a
set of hard drive tray release tabs.

Remove the tray by squeezing both release tabs inward, then slide the
hard drive tray out of the drive cage.

Set any jumpers on the new drive. (See the drive documentation for more
information.)
