Installing a Hard Drive into a 5.25-Inch Drive Bay
To install a 3.5-inch hard drive into a 5.25-inch, half-height drive
bay, the drive must be housed in an adapter.
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 the drive and adapter:
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
workstation and any external devices. 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.
4. Remove four of the guide screws from behind the front bezel on
the workstation chassis. See “Locating the Hardware Screws” in
this chapter.
