Expanding Your System
Installing Devices in the Upper Drive Bay Area
To install a device in the upper drive bay area, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off your system and unlock and remove the side panels, as described earlier in
this chapter.
2. Carefully remove the plastic filler panel (Figure 3-7). If no drive is present in the slot
that is to be used, you can remove the panel by pushing it out from the inside with a
Phillips screwdriver inserted through one of the screw holes in the side of the drive
bay.

3. Refer to your drive documentation to configure the drive. If the drive is a SCSI drive,
you must select a SCSI address and make sure that SCSI termination is disabled.
Term power should be enabled. Record the SCSI address you used in Appendix G,
Equipment Log.
4. Remove the metal plate, as Figure 3-8 shows. The top of the plate is hooked behind a
rail, and the bottom of the plate is held by a screw. To improve access, remove the
metal plate from the other side of the system.
