You can install 3Winch drives in the internal bays. In the external bay, you can install 51/4-inch drives or 3M-inch drives with 5%inch mounting frames attached.

You also need to attach metal drive brackets to each drive you install in the external bay. Two sets of these brackets (with retaining screws) come in the box with your computer. The instructions in this chapter tell you how to install them.

Setting the IDE Hard Disk Drive Jumpers

You may need to change the hard disk drive jumper settings if you install or remove an IDE hard disk drive. The jumpers tell the computer whether you are using one hard disk drive or two.

Note

You do not need to set any jumpers if you are removing your only hard disk drive.

If you are installing only one hard disk drive, see “Changing the Jumper Settings” below to check your drive’s jumpers.

If you are removing one hard disk drive and leaving another in your computer, you need to change the jumper settings on the remaining drive to indicate that it is the only hard disk drive installed.

If you install two hard disk drives, you must change the jumper settings on each drive to indicate whether it is the master (primary) or the slave (secondary) drive. The primary drive is the one from which you boot your computer.
