Holds an Optical Drive.
You can use the bay for an optional Optical Drive or a SATA
hard drive.
You can use the bay for a floppy drive or a Media Card Reader.
Use the optional IEEE 1394 connector for high-speed data devices
such as digital video cameras and external storage devices.
Use the front USB connectors for devices that you connect
occasionally, such as flash memory keys or cameras, or for
bootable USB devices. (For more information on booting to
a USB device, see "System Setup" in your User's Guide.)
Dell recommends that you use the back USB connectors for
devices that typically remain connected, such as printers and
keyboards.
The hard drive light is on when the computer reads data from or
writes data to the hard drive. The light might also be on when
a device such as your CD player is operating.
