Chapter 5. Working with 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 to enable your
computer to read other types of media. Examples of the different drives available
for your computer are diskette drives, hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, and tape
drives.
Internal drives are installed in bays at the front of your computer. Within this book,
the bays are referred to as bay 1, bay 2, and so on. Bays are part of drive brackets
that house the internal drives. The 3-bay design has two drive brackets: one
houses a 5.25-inch and a 3.5-inch drive, and the other houses a 3.5-inch drive. The
4-bay design also has two drive brackets: one houses two 5.25-inch drives, and the
other houses two 3.5-inch drives.
Note:
A conversion kit can be used to mount a 3.5-inch drive in a 5-25-inch bay.
For more information, see your place of purchase or IBM reseller.
Your computer comes with internal drives already installed. In the 3-bay design, a
hard disk drive is preinstalled in bay 2, and a diskette drive is preinstalled in
bay 3. In the 4-bay design, a diskette drive is preinstalled in bay 3, and a hard disk
drive is preinstalled in bay 4.
The following illustrations show the location of the drive bays in your computer.
