If you are finished installing items in your computer, skip ahead to “Closing the Computer”
on page 53. If you want to install other items, go to the relevant section.

Installing a Hard Disk or Other Internal Storage Device

The lower drive bay in the drive carrier at the top of your Macintosh can accommodate an
internal Zip drive, if one did not come installed in the computer. The lower portion of the
computer can accommodate up to three 1.0-inch and 1.6-inch SCSI and ATA internal storage
devices.

If you want to add a SCSI drive to a computer, you must first install an appropriate PCI card.
Follow any instructions that came with the card and the instructions in the section “Installing
a PCI Expansion Card” on page 49. After the card is installed, return to this section.

It’s easiest to connect cables to the card if you install the card in the PCI slot labeled 3.
