Introduction Introduction Introduction Introduction
The MultiBay Adapter is an IDE device that allows users to easily switch and change MultiBay drives including CD-RW, DVD-ROM,
CD-ROM and MultiBay hard drives. It is a modular storage bay, allowing for multiple MultiBay devices to be inserted or removed,
thereby increasing the expandability and performance of HP Compaq convertible minitowers and small form factor desktops.
Installation Installation Installation Installation
The MultiBay Adapter must be installed as the only device on the Secondary IDE controller. A single device IDE cable is supplied with
the MultiBay Adapter Option Kit to enable this configuration.
If a half-height optical drive is also configured in the same system as a MultiBay Adapter, the half-height optical drive must be re-
installed on the Primary IDE controller as the slave device. A dual device IDE cable is supplied with the MultiBay Adapter Option Kit
to enable this configuration.
When the HP Business Desktop d530 Convertible Minitower is equipped with both the MultiBay option and Parallel ATA (PATA) hard
drive(s), no other optical drives can be supported. HP Business Desktop d530 Convertible Minitowers equipped with Serial ATA
(SATA) hard drives do not have this limitation.
