Drives Installed in the Computer and Additional Drives
Standard Macintosh configurations include one internal Ultra ATA hard disk, or one, two, or
three internal Wide Ultra2 SCSI drives. The drives you purchased with your computer can
influence what additional drives you select.
Ultra ATA Drives
Your Macintosh can accommodate one internal ATA device in the lower drive carrier. If you
purchased a model with an Ultra ATA drive in it, the drive sits in the rear of the carrier in
position number 3.
Additional Wide Ultra2 SCSI Drives
If you purchased a Macintosh model that has at least one internal Wide Ultra2 SCSI drive, a
PCI card and cable inside the computer make it possible to connect additional internal and
external Wide Ultra2 SCSI devices. You can connect up to three internal SCSI drives or
connect additional SCSI devices to the port the card provides on the rear of the computer.
If your computer came with one Wide Ultra2 SCSI drive, it is installed in the lower drive in
position 1, near the front of the computer. If it came with two drives, the second one is
installed in position 2. If a third drive is installed, it’s in position 3. The computer uses the
drive in position 1 to start up.
Important Hard disk drives and removable storage devices may require special software for
the computer to recognize the device. Check the documentation that came with your device
or contact the device’s manufacturer for more information.
