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 Workstation can support another 3.5-inch device plus three front-access 5.25-inch devices.

The internal hard disk shelves support up to two 15 Krpm drives.
