Modular Option Bay
The Gateway 2000 Solo PC features a modular option bay located directly beneath
the cover latch. This bay accepts the modular CD-ROM drive, the modular internal
floppy disk drive, or the modular bay cover when neither drive is installed. The unit
houses either drive, but only one at a time. (The bay cover is recommended for use
when neither drive is installed and total carrying weight of the unit is an issue.)
To switch between drives, remove the installed drive (or bay cover) from the unit’s
modular bay as shown below and replace it with a different drive.
*The system is upside down at this point, so the drive being installed must be turned
upside down as well.
