Installing a Drive in a Horizontal Bay

This section describes how to install a drive in a horizontal bay.

Although the illustrations show a diskette or hard disk drive in

the lower bay, you can use these instructions to install a drive

in the upper bay. You’ll find steps for the following procedures:

q

Attaching the mounting frames to a hard disk drive (if

necessary)

q

Installing the drive

q

Connecting the cables.

If you are installing your computer’s first hard disk drive, it is

best to use the vertical drive bay as described on page 5-5.

Before you install a hard disk drive, be sure to check the

jumpers on the drive. For instructions, see page 5-4.

Depending on the type of drive you are installing, you may

need to attach mounting frames to it before you install it in a

horizontal bay. Follow these guidelines:

q

If you are installing a diskette drive, skip to “Installing the

Drive” on page 5-18.

q

If you install a hard disk drive that has a 3.5-inch form

factor, it must have mounting frames to fit properly in the

horizontal bay. Follow the steps in the next section.

q

If you are installing a hard disk drive that already has

mounting frames on it, see if it also has a plastic guiderail

and metal grounding plate attached to it. If so, follow step 1

on page 5-6 to remove the guiderail and grounding plate.

Then go to “Installing the Drive” on page 5-18.
