Back to Contents Page Dell™ OptiPlex™ 760 Service Manual Drives Drives Your computer supports: l One serial ATA (SATA) hard drive l One 3.5-inch drive bay (to support a floppy drive or a media card reader) l One SATA optical drive NOTE: Due to the limited number of drive bays and controllers on this computer, you will not be able to connect all supported devices at once. NOTE: If you will be operating your computer without an optical drive or a 3.5-inch device (floppy drive or media card reader) installed, the appropriate drive bay insert must be installed in place of the drive. Contact Dell if you need a drive bay insert. 1 optical drive 2 floppy drive 3 hard drive General Drive Installation Guidelines SATA connectors on the system board are labeled SATA0 and SATA1. Hard drives must be connected to the lower-numbered SATA connectors. Any other SATA device (like an optical drive) must be connected to the remaining SATA connectors numbered higher than the one that the hard drive is connected to. For example, if you have a SATA hard drive and a SATA optical drive, connect the hard drive to the SATA0 connector and connect the SATA optical drive to the SATA1 connector (see System Board Components for the location of the SATA connectors on the system board). Connecting Drive Cables When you install a drive, you connect two cables-a DC power cable and a data interface cable-to the back of the drive. Data Interface Connectors SATA Connector
