Adding a hard disk drive
The computer’s 3.5" hard disk drive bay can accommodate one 1.6"
high, or two 1" high, hard disk drives. Hard disk drives should
always be connected to the primary ATA/IDE interface.
Configuring the drive
The ATA/IDE interface supports a maximum of two drives. These
drives are known as master and slave. A single drive, or the boot
device in a dual drive system, must be configured as master. The
second, non-bootable, drive in a dual drive system must be
configured as slave.
IDE drives are normally configured using jumpers on the drive.
Configuration details may vary from drive to drive. Most drives are
supplied with documentation describing how to configure the drive.
If you are uncertain about configuring the drive consult your
supplier.
Installing the drive
To install the hard disk drive:
1. Turn off the computer and unplug all power cords.
2. If there is a diskette in the diskette drive, remove it.
3. Take suitable anti-static precautions and remove the system
unit cover.
If you are unfamiliar with the recommended anti-static
precautions or the process of removing the system unit cover,
refer to Appendix A, “Inside the System Unit”.
4. If there is a removable-media drive fitted, unplug its power and
signal cables from the rear of the drive.
5. Remove the two screws that secure the removable-media drive
tray. Slide the tray backwards slightly and lift it out of the
system unit. Put it down on a flat, anti-static surface.
