Figure 7-7. Attaching the Drive Bracket to the New Drive
To further ensure proper positioning of the drive in
the chassis, insert and tighten all four screws in the
order in which the holes are numbered (the holes are
marked “1” through “4”).
6. Slide the new drive into the drive bay until it
snaps securely into place (see Figure 7-8).
Make sure that both bracket tabs snap into place in
the drive bay.

7. If you are installing a drive that has its own con-
troller card, install the controller card in an
expansion slot.
See “Installing an Expansion Card” in Chapter 6.
8. Connect a DC power cable to the power input
connector on the back of the drive (see
Figure7-9).
9. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the
interface connector on the back of the drive (see
Figure 7-9).
If your system came with an EIDE CD-ROM or tape
drive, use the spare connector on the existing inter-
face cable. Otherwise, use the EIDE interface cable
provided in the drive kit.
