How to Install a Second Hard Drive in a IBM T40
The IBM T40 uses a swappable drive option called an Ultrabay Slim. This slot on the laptop can be used to install a second battery, an optical drive (such as a DVD-ROM drive) or a second hard drive. In order to install a second hard drive, however, you need a hard drive disk adapter for the Ultrabay Slim.
