Replacing and Adding Drives
As you prepare to install drives, keep the following in mind:
■
To remove and install drives, you need a grounding wrist strap and a
Phillips screwdriver. If you remove a drive, place it in an antistatic bag.
■
Before you install a drive, see the drive’s documentation for information
on configuring the drive, setting any jumpers on the drive, and attaching
cables to the drive.
■
If you are installing a drive that uses an add-in controller, install the
add-in card before you install the drive.
■
IDE hard drives can be configured as single, master, or slave. IDE CD
drives can be configured as master or slave. Configure the drives by using
the drive-select jumpers located on the drives.
