Bay
A
bay is an
open section on the computer used for expansion for add-ons to your computer,
such as a hard drive and
CD-ROM drive. Drive bays are available in 3.5-inch and 5.25-inches.
In the picture to the right, is an example of what the front of the computer may look like with an example of an empty 3.5" and 5.25" drive bay.
Before installing a new drive, such as a CD-ROM drive, remove the front bay cover from the front bezel to provide access to the drive. When installing a hard disk drive, the drive bay cover can remain in place.
