How to Install Accessories in Your PC
Installing Other Accessories
The following table explains which data connectors you should use
when you install additional devices.
Configuring an IDE Device After Installation
After installing an IDE drive you will need to verify that your PC has
correctly identified the new configuration, by viewing the summary
screen (press
during the PC startup procedure). If the
configuration is not correct, run the
Setup
program to configure the
device (press
during the PC startup procedure).
IDE drives are, by default, automatically detected by the
Setup
program (the IDE channels settings in the
Main
menu must be set to
Auto
to enable automatic detection). However, a newly installed CD-
ROM may require that you install an appropriate device driver. Refer to
your operating system documentation for details.
