Removal and Replacement Procedures- Microtower (MT)/Small Form Factor (SFF) Chassis 1 3.5-inch drive bay (1.44-MB diskette drive shown)* 2 5.25-inch drive bay for optional drives 3 3.5-inch, internal, standard hard drive bay *If the computer has a 1.44-MB diskette drive installed, it will be configured with a diskette drive bezel as shown in the illustration. If the computer contains an empty 3.5-inch drive bay, then a bezel blank will be installed on the computer instead. If you do not have a drive in this slot, you may choose to install a 3.5-inch device (such as a diskette drive, hard drive, or Zip drive) later on. However, to install a 3.5-inch device other than a diskette drive or hard drive, you must order the 3.5-inch device bezel (PN 434484-001). To verify the type, size, and capacity of the storage devices installed in the computer, run Computer Setup. Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide for more information. 6.8.4 Removing an Optical Drive or Diskette Drive - SFF chassis Ä CAUTION: All removable media should be taken out of the drives before removing the drive from the computer. ✎ An optical drive is a CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM drive. 1.
