5.Install the drive into the bay. Align the screw holes, and insert the two screws.

6.Each integrated drive electronics (IDE) drive requires two cables; a four-wire power cable that connects to the power supply and a signal cable that connects to the system board. You might also have an audio cable to connect.

The steps to connect an IDE drive are different depending on the type of drive you are connecting. Locate the procedure below for your drive connection.

To connect the first IDE CD drive or DVD drive

1.Locate the three-connector signal cable that came with your computer or with the new drive.

2.Locate the secondary IDE connector on the system board. See “Identifying parts on the system board - microtower model” on page 48.

3.Connect one end of the signal cable to the drive and the other to the secondary IDE connector on the system board. To reduce electronic noise, use the connectors at the end of the cable only.

4.Your computer has extra power connectors for additional drives. Connect a power connector to the drive.
