NOTE

2 How to Install Accessories In Your PC

Installing Mass Storage Devices

Installing Mass Storage Devices

You can install additional mass storage devices, if you need extra mass storage space for your application software.

You can install a non-IDE hard disk drive or CD-ROM device, but it will need an accessory board and driver software (usually supplied with the device). Contact the product vendor for further information.

Connecting IDE Devices

There are three data cables inside your PC. Two of these are for IDE devices:

•The first is marked “Primary IDE” next to the system board attachment. It has two drive connectors. The middle connector of this data cable must be connected to the bootable or master hard disk drive.

•The second data cable has only one drive connector. It is marked “Secondary IDE” next to the system board attachment.
