5.25-inch drives
Three 5.25-inch drive bays are
located on the upper front part of the
chassis. A CD-ROM drive that comes
standard with the system package
occupies the uppermost bay
(labeled 1). The two lower bays
(labeled 2 and 3) are available for
additional 5.25-inch devices.
If you have previously used and powered up the system, and that it
may be connected to an AC power source, make sure to unplug the
power cable before installing or removing any system components.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard and other
system components!
