As you prepare to install drives, keep the following in mind:

■To remove and install drives, you need an antistatic wrist strap.

■If you remove a drive, place it in an antistatic bag or container.

■Before you install a drive, see the drive documentation for information on configuring the drive, setting any jumpers on the drive, and attaching cables to the drive.

■If you are installing a drive that requires a controller card, install the card before you install the drive.

■IDE hard drives can be configured as single, master, or slave. IDE CD drives can be configured as master or slave. Configure the drives by using the drive-select jumpers located on the drives.

■If only one drive is attached to a controller cable, configure the drive as single if it is a hard drive or master if it is a CD drive. If two drives of any type are attached to the cable, configure one as master and one as slave.

■You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS Setup utility. Press F1 at start up to open the BIOS Setup utility.
