To further ensure proper positioning of the drive in the chassis, insert and tighten all four screws in the order in which the holes are numbered (the holes are marked "1" through "4").

6.Slide the new drive into the drive bay until it snaps securely into place (see Figure 10-8). Make sure that both bracket tabs snap into place in the drive bay.

Figure 10-8. Inserting the New Drive Into the Drive Bay

7.If you are installing a drive that has its own controller card, install the controller card in an expansion slot. See "Installing an Expansion Card".

8.Connect a DC power cable to the power input connector on the back of the drive (see Figure 10-9).

Figure 10-9. Attaching EIDE Tape Drive Cables

9.Connect the appropriate interface cable to the interface connector on the back of the drive (see Figure 10-9).

If your system came with an EIDE CD-ROM or tape drive, use the spare connector on the existing interface cable. Otherwise, use the EIDE or SCSI cable provided in the drive kit.

CAUTION: You must match the colored strip on the cable with pin 1 on the drive's interface connector to avoid possible damage to your system.

10.For an EIDE tape drive or CD-ROM drive, connect the other end of the interface cable to the interface connector labeled "IDE2" on the system board (see Figure 9-1).

For a SCSI drive, connect the cable from the drive to the interface connector labeled "SCSI_NARROW" on the system board.

For a diskette drive, connect the cable from the drive to the interface connector labeled "DISKETTE" on the system board. For a drive that comes with its own controller card, connect the other end of the interface cable to the controller card. Check all cable connections. Fold cables out of the way to provide airflow for the fan and cooling vents.

11.If the 5.25-inch drive bay was previously empty, remove the front-panel insert from the front bezel.
