Installing the drive in slimline IBM systems

You can extend the capabilities of your computer by adding memory, drives, or adapters. When adding an option, use these instructions along with the instructions that come with the computer.

Power and signal cables for internal drives

Your computer uses cables to connect integrated drive electronics (IDE) drives to the power supply and to the system board. The following cables are provided:

vFour-wire power cables connect most drives to the power supply. At the end of these cables are plastic connectors that attach to different drives; these connectors vary in size. Also, certain power cables attach to the system board.

vFlat signal cables, also called ribbon cables, connect IDE and diskette drives to the system board. There are two sizes of ribbon signal cables that come with your computer:

–The wider signal cable has two or three connectors.

-If the cable has three connectors, one of these connectors is attached to the drive, one is a spare, and the third attaches to the primary or secondary IDE connector on the system board.

-If the cable has two connectors, one of these connectors is attached to the hard disk drive, and the other attaches to the primary or secondary IDE connector on the system board.

Notes:

1.If you want to add another device, and your computer does not come with a CD-ROM preinstalled, you will need a second signal cable with three connectors. You will meed an 80-conductor ATA 66 signal cable if you are replacing the existing signal cable or adding a second hard disk. ATA 66 signal cables are color-coded. The blue connector attaches to the system board; the black connector attaches to the master device, and the gray middle connector attaches to the slave device.

If your computer comes with a CD-ROM drive, it will have an ATA 66 signal cable. However, if you are installing a hard disk drive, you must change the switch setting on the CD-ROM drive to secondary and change the connector used for the CD-ROM drive to the gray middle connector.

2.If you are installing a slimline CD-ROM drive in the small form factor desktop model, the IDE cable requires a special connector to
