Your Dell computer has six drive bays for installing the following types of drives (see
Figure 7-1):
The externally accessible drive bays at the front of the computer consist of one
3.5-inch drive bay (dedicated to a 3.5-inch diskette drive) and three 5.25-inch bays
that can hold up to three half-height, 5.25-inch devices—typically, tape drives or
CD-ROM drives. Alternately, 3.5-inch devices can be installed in the 5.25-inch
bays using adapters available from Dell.
The two hard-disk drive bays can each hold a 3.5-inch enhanced integrated drive
electronics (EIDE) hard-disk drive. Together, the bays can hold one 1-inch-high (or
smaller) drive and one 1.6-inch-high (or smaller) drive.
The next three sections contain information that you will need in several of the instal-
lation procedures described later in the chapter. The remaining sections of this
chapter cover each type of drive installation.
