•Before you install a drive, see the drive’s 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 uses an add-in controller, install the add-in card before you install the drive.

•IDE hard drives can be configured as single, master, or slave. IDE CD-ROM drives can be configured as master or slave. Use the drive-select jumpers on the drives to configure IDE drives as follows: If only one drive is attached to the controller cable, configure the drive as single if it is a hard drive or master if it is a CD-ROM 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 through the Setup utility program. Press F1 at start up to access the Setup utility program.

Drive Cabling Information

Three drive cables are included with your system. The floppy drive connector cable is used to connect floppy drives and other non-IDE devices (such as a tape backup drive). The two IDE connector cables are used to connect IDE devices such as CD-ROM drives and additional hard drives. If you want to add additional drives, you can replace the drive connector cables with ones that contain three connectors, which would allow you to add a total of four IDE devices or two floppy devices.
