2 How to Install Accessories In Your PC Installing Mass Storage Devices Installing Mass Storage Devices If you need to have extra mass storage space for your application software, you can install additional mass storage devices, such as a flexible disk drive, hard disk drive, or tape drive. Your PC already has one hard disk drive installed in the back shelf. You can install another hard disk drive in the bottom internal shelf, beneath the existing hard disk drive. Your PC has a 3.5-inch flexible disk drive and a CD-ROM drive installed in two front-access device shelves. Two more front-access device shelves are available to install flexible disk drives, CD-ROM drives, or tape drives. Your PC has the following cables and connectors on the system board which may be used by mass storage devices: • An Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard disk drive cable. This supports up to two IDE hard disk drives, one of which is already connected. On the system board, this cable's connector is labeled "Primary IDE". • A second Enhanced IDE drive cable with two red connectors. If you install a CD-ROM drive, or a third hard disk drive, or both, connect it or them to this cable. On the system board, this cable's connector is labeled "Secondary IDE". • A flexible disk drive cable. This supports up to two flexible disk drives, one of which is already connected. NOTE You can install a non-IDE mass storage device, but this requires an accessory board and driver software. Contact your authorized reseller for information. English 21
