Installing Drives: Dell Precision™ WorkStation 620 Systems User's Guide
Overview
Your Dell™ computer has eight drive bays in the mini tower chassis for installing the following types of drives (see Figure 1):
l
The externally accessible drive bays at the front of the computer consist of one 3.5-inch drive bay (dedicated to a 3.5-inch diskette drive) and
three 5.25-inch bays that can hold up to three half-height, 5.25-inch devices
—
typically tape drives or CD-ROM drives. Alternately, 3.5-inch
devices can be installed in the 5.25-inch bays using adapters available from Dell.
l
The four-bay hard-disk drive cage below the externally accessible bays can hold up to four 1-inch, up to three 1.6 inch, or up to two 1-inch
and two 1.6-inch hard-disk drives installed vertically. The drives must be either enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) hard-disk drives
or small computer system interface (SCSI) hard-disk drives.
The next sections contain information that you will need for several of the installation procedures described later in the chapter. The remaining
sections of this chapter cover each type of drive installation.
