Notes:

You must install drives that require removable media (diskettes, tapes, or CDs) in the
accessible bays: bay 1, 2, 3, or 4.
You can install one diskette drive only.
To properly mount a 3.5-inch drive into bay 1 or 2, you must use a 3.5-inch
conversion kit for a 5.25-inch bay. For more information, contact your IBM reseller or
IBM marketing representative.
