Step | 1. Opening | the | computer |
|
| |||
1. | Turn | off | the | computer | and | all | attached | devices. |
2. | Unplug | the | power | cords | for | the | computer | and all attached devices. |
3. | Remove | the | cover from | the | computer. |
|
Step | 2. Unpacking | the | drive |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||
1. | Before | opening | the antistatic | bag | that | the | drive | is | packed | in, | touch | it | to | an | ||||
| unpainted | metal | surface | for | at | least | two | seconds. | This | drains | the | static | electricity | |||||
| from | the package | and | your | body. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |||
2. | Remove | the | drive | from | the bag. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |||
| If | you | must | put | the | drive | down, | place | the | antistatic | bag | on a | flat | padded | surface, | |||
| such | as | a | magazine, | and | place | the | drive | on | the | antistatic | bag. |
|
|
|
|
Step | 3. | Selecting | an |
| IDE | port |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||||
Newer | computers | typically | have | two |
| IDE | ports, | each | of |
| which |
| can |
| support | two |
|
| ||||||||||||
devices. | Typically, | the | IDE | port | connected | to | your | hard | disk |
| drive | is | the | primary | IDE | |||||||||||||||
port. | The |
| other | IDE |
| port | is | the | secondary port. The IDE port and |
| the | cable | position | |||||||||||||||||
that | you |
| select | determine |
| which | configuration | jumper | setting | you |
| use |
| for |
| the | drive. |
| ||||||||||||
Ÿ | If | you |
| have | two | IDE | ports, | connect |
| the | drive |
| to | the |
| secondary | IDE | port | ||||||||||||
| on | your | system | board | or | IDE | adapter. |
| If | the |
| the | only | device on | ||||||||||||||||
| the | secondary | IDE | port, | use |
| the | master | configuration | setting. | If |
| the | |||||||||||||||||
| is | the | second | device | on | the |
| secondary |
| port, | use |
| the |
| subordinate |
| (or | slave) |
| |||||||||||
| configuration | setting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |||||
Ÿ | If | you |
| must | attach |
| the | drive | to | the | primary | IDE | port |
| (the same port as a | |||||||||||||||
| hard | disk | drive |
| or | other | fast | device), | use the |
| subordinate | setting | for the | |||||||||||||||||
| drive |
| and | the | master | setting |
| for | the |
| faster | device. | In | some |
| instances, | you | might | ||||||||||||
| need | to | change | the | hard disk |
| drive configuration | setting |
| to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||||||||||
| when | attaching | a | subordinate | device | on |
| the | same |
|
| |||||||||||||||||||
| cable. | For further | information | on | setting |
| configuration |
| jumpers |
| on | other | devices, |
| ||||||||||||||||
| refer | to | the | documentation | that | comes | with | your | computer |
| or | with | the | device | in | |||||||||||||||
| question. |

|
|

Ÿ | Some | the | setting, | where | the |
| position | of |
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| the | device | on | the | cable | determines | whether | a | device | is |
| master |
| or | subordinate. |
| ||||||||||||||
| See | the | documentation | that | comes with |
| your | computer |
| to |
| determine |
| if | your |
|
| |||||||||||||
| computer | supports |
| this | setting. |
