Installing a Hard Drive
The following sections provide instructions for installing a hard drive
into a 3.5-inch drive bay and into a 5.25-inch drive bay.
Installing a Hard Drive into a 3.5-Inch Drive Bay
Compaq does not support mixing Ultra ATA and SCSI hard drives in the
same system. If you are replacing a hard drive in bay 4 or bay 5, the
replacement drive should be of the same type as the drive being removed.
Prior to installing a SCSI device, read the section “SCSI Devices” in
Appendix B.
To install a hard drive into a 3.5-inch drive bay:
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
workstation. Disconnect the power cord from the grounded AC
outlet.
2. Remove the workstation access panel. See “Removing the
Workstation Access Panel” in this chapter.
3. Remove the front bezel. See “Removing the Front Bezel” in this
chapter.
