Adding Drives

Your HP Pavilion PC has three drive bays:
The top bay (bay 1) contains a DVD or CD-ROM
drive.
Bay 2 is empty; it can accommodate a 5.25-inch
drive.
Bay 3 contains the Digital Camera Port; it can
also accommodate an internal 3.5-inch drive
(such as a hard drive).
Note:
If the Digital Camera Port is removed, bay 3 can
accommodate a 5.25-inch removable-media drive.
This section describes how to access bays 2 and 3 so
that you can install drives in them.
