Adding Other Drives

Your computer includes a floppy drive and either a CD or DVD drive. You
can add drives, such as Zip drives and CD-RW drives, using the procedures
in the following sections.

5.25-Inch Devices

HINT:

You need

additional hardware, such
as a mounting kit, to
install a 3.5-inch drive in
a 5.25-inch bay.

CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section,

follow the safety instructions on page 7.

NOTICE:

To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your

computer and then unplug it from the network jack.

1

Turn off the computer and devices, and disconnect them from their

electrical outlets.

2

Briefly press the power button.
Pressing the power button when the computer is not connected to an

electrical outlet discharges residual electricity and can help prevent

system board damage.

3

Remove the computer cover (see page 42).

4

Press in the tabs, and swing the front panel away from the computer.
