How Many Storage
Devices Does My
Computer Have?
Your computer is supplied with one hard disk drive mounted on an internal shelf, and one front-access 3.5-inch floppy disk
drive. There may also be a
CD-ROM
drive installed.
Why Add More
Storage Devices?
Adding additional storage devices is often necessary when, for example, a large amount of information needs to be
frequently accessed.
You can install additional storage devices if, for example, you need extra storage space for your application software.
How Many Storage
Devices Can I Add?
The number of storage devices that you can add to your computer is determined by the number of mounting shelves
(bays) that are unused and by the number of storage device interface channels that are unused.
Your computer has a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive and either a 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch hard disk drive already installed. There
may also be a CD-ROM drive installed.
The on-system board electronics have a total of six interface channels that can support up to six storage devices—two
FDD
devices and four
IDE
devices.
Note
Disk drives ordered from HP may be supplied with mounting rails. Remove all mounting rails from the drive, as your
computer does not need them. You can install a non-IDE device such as a
SCSI
drive but you will also need to install
an interface card and software for it.
