up to four IDE devices such as IDE hard disks, an IDE CD-ROM reader, and an
IDE Zip drive.

Locating Device Slots
The system has six storage device slots (see the following figure):
one 3 1/2-inch accessible device slot that contains the standard 1.44-MB diskette
drive.
two 3 1/2-inch internal hard disk drive slots (thin-height); the 3 1/2-inch hard disk
drive is installed in one of these slots.
three 5 1/4-inch accessible device slots (1.6-inch high, half-height). The accessible
device slots may contain a CD-ROM reader, PCMCIA device, Zip drive, Jaz
drive, or a tape backup unit.
You can install accessible devices such as a diskette drive or tape drive with a 5 1/4-inch
form factor (frame) in the 5 1/4-inch slots. You can also install a 3 1/2-inch hard disk drive
in the 5 1/4-inch slot if the hard disk drive is inserted in a 5 1/4-inch adapter frame.
The following figure shows the device slot locations.
