2 Installing and Replacing Hardware Parts in Your PC Installing Mass Storage Devices Installing Mass Storage Devices The PC has an integrated Ultra ATA-100 controller that supports up to four IDE devices. Removable media IDE devices, such as CD-ROM drives, DVD drives, tape drives and Zip drives, require front access. In addition to the floppy disk drive, your PC can support another 3.5-inch internal device plus two front-access 5.25-inch devices. Note that one front-access shelf may already have an optical drive installed in it. You can physically install up to two 7.2 or 10 Krpm hard disk drives in the desktop chassis. Refer to the drive's manual to see if you must set jumpers or if there is a special installation procedure to follow.
