2 How to Install Accessories In Your PC Installing Mass Storage Devices

IDE drives are automatically detected by the Setup program. However, a newly installed CD-ROM may require that you install an appropriate device driver. Refer to your operating system documentation for details. For information on how to obtain the latest available drivers from HP, refer to page 73.

 

 

Installing an IDE Hard Disk Drive in the Top Rear Shelf

 

 

The top rear shelf is located under the power supply. You can use this

 

 

shelf for a 3.5-inch hard disk drive. You can also use the top rear shelf

 

 

for installing an ISA accessory board.

 

 

The PC has an integrated Enhanced IDE controller which supports two

 

 

Fast IDE hard disk drives. Refer to the drive’s manuals to see if you

 

 

must set jumpers or if there is a special installation procedure to follow

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

Handle the hard disk drive with care. Avoid shocks and violent

 

 

movement as this can cause damage to the hard disk drive’s internal

 

 

components.

 

 

Make sure that you back up your files before you install a hard disk

 

 

drive. Refer to your operating system documentation for information on

 

 

how to do this.

 

 

1 Disconnect the computer’s power supply cord and any connection to

 

 

 

 

a telecommunications network.

 

 

2 Remove the computer’s cover and power supply.

 

 

3 At the rear of the computer, unscrew the retaining bracket (you can

 

 

use a coin to do this) and remove it.
