￿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 program. Press F1 at start up to access the BIOS Setup utility program.

Releasing the drive cage

You do not have to remove any screws to release the drive cage. The drive cage is secured in the chassis by a drive cage release button. Once the release button is pressed, you use the handle at the top of the cage to slide the cage forward from the chassis. Slide the drive cage forward to add or replace memory or to remove the cover filler to add an additional CD or diskette drive.

To release the drive cage:

1Turn off the computer, disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if installed), and all external peripheral devices.

2Remove the right panel. (See “Removing the side panels” on page 19 and observe the “Static electricity precautions” on page 17.)
