Installing internal drives
This section provides information and instructions for installing and

storage capacity and performance. Some of the different drives available
for your computer are:

Internal drives are installed in bays. Within this book, the bays are referred
to as bay 1, bay 2, and so on.
When you are installing an internal drive, it is important to note what kind
of drive you can install in each bay and the height restrictions imposed by
each drive bay. Also, it is important to correctly connect the internal drive
cables to the installed drive.
