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.
