How Many Storage

The number of storage devices that you can add to your computer is determined by the number of mounting shelves that
are unused and by the number of storage device interface channels that are unused.
In addition to the 3.5-inch floppy disk drive and a hard disk drive, your computer has four front-access device shelves
available for new drives (note that one of these shelves may already be occupied by a CD-ROM drive). There is also one
internal shelf available, which may be used for an additional hard disk drive.
The on-system board electronics have a total of six interface channels that can support up to six storage devices—two
FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) devices and four IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) devices.
For instructions on how to add a storage device, refer to
“Installing Storage Devices” on page 45
