5.25 Device Bays
Part number ALR7200

The Gateway ALR 7200 has three available 5.25-inch device bays, which support accessible media devices, such as CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives, or floppy drives, as well as fixed-media devices such as hard disk drives. These bays support 5.25-inch devices, as well as additional 3.5-inch fixed or removable media devices with adapter brackets. An optional 3 drive RAID Cage, may also be installed in these bays. Each unused device bay is covered by a plastic filler plate behind which a metal RF shield is installed to reduce RFI emissions. The top RF shield is held in place by a single screw and can be removed by removing the screw. The lower two RF shields are cut into the sheet metal of the chassis front and can be removed by pulling on the top of the shield and pushing on the bottom, in a twisting motion, until the metal separates.
