Locating internal drives
Internal drives are devices that your computer uses to read and store data. You can add drives to your
computer to increase storage capacity and enable your computer to read other types of media. Internal
drives are installed in bays.
When installing or replacing an internal drive, it is important to note the type and size of the drive that you can
install or replace in each bay and correctly connect the cables to the drive installed. Refer to the appropriate
section in Chapter 10 “Replacing FRUs (machine types: 10B4, 10B5, 10B6, and 10B7)” on page 135 for
instructions on how to install or replace internal drives for your computer.
Figure 10 “Drive bay locations” on page 82 shows the locations of the drive bays.
