Installing a Hard Drive into a 3.5-inch Drive Bay
Compaq does not support mixing IDE and SCSI hard drives in the 
same system. If you are replacing a hard drive in bay 4 or bay 5, it 
should be of the same type.
To install a hard drive in a 3.5-inch drive bay:
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then power off the 
computer and any external drives, disconnect the power cord 
from the power outlet, and remove the computer cover.
2. Remove the front bezel. See, “Removing the Front Bezel.”
