Installing new cabling
If the primary boot disk drive already has a new EIDE ribbon cable, continue with Installing
the secondary disk drive on page 99.
To install new cabling:
1. Remove the ribbon cable from the back of the primary disk drive. You may need to
remove the primary disk drive by removing the two screws securing the primary disk
drive bracket and lifting out the drive. See the following figure.
2. Remove the other end of this cable from the motherboard. Remember the slot in the
motherboard from which you remove this connector. You will install another connector
in this slot in the next step.
3. On the new ribbon cable that was supplied with the secondary disk drive, there are
three connectors labeled MOTHERBOARD, MASTER, and SLAVE. Insert the
connector labeled MOTHERBOARD into the slot in the motherboard from which you
removed a connector in the previous step. See the following figure.
4. Connect the connector labeled MASTER to the primary disk drive.
5. If you previously removed the primary disk drive, reinstall it on the chassis.
