WESTERN DIGITAL EIDE HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION GUIDE Install the Hard Drive in a Macintosh System You can install two IDE/ATA hard drives on the same cable with the Master/Slave jumper configuration in the following Macintosh systems: ! Power Mac® G4 and higher ! Power Mac G3 (blue and white colored, limited to certain configurations) ! Power Mac G3 All-in-One (limited to certain configurations) A Power Mac with a U-shaped mounting bracket installed in the rear drive bay is capable of supporting dual IDE/ATA drives, allowing two drives to be installed in that bay. For more information on Master/Slave support on Power Macs G3 or G4, refer to Apple support article 24342 at www.apple.com. IMPORTANT: For detailed setup and installation instructions specific to your Macintosh system, refer to your original Apple Setup Guide or go to www.apple.com/support. You can install the hard drive according to one of the following system configurations: a) If your system does not support the Master/Slave configuration, you will be limited to installing one IDE/ATA device per channel for a maximum of two IDE/ATA devices. b) To install a drive greater than 137 GB, you must install a Macintosh-compatible Ultra ATA/100 controller card. Make sure that the Ultra ATA drivers have been properly installed prior to connecting the hard drive. c) To install a hard drive less than 137 GB as an additional hard drive in a Power Mac, follow the steps below. Install the Hard Drive Less than 137 GB (Additional drive) 1. Cable Select is the default jumper setting of your Western Digital hard drive, so you must change the configuration to Slave (see page 4 for a diagram of the jumper block). The drive that came with the Macintosh is already designated as Master (Master ID=0, Slave ID=1). Note: Cable Select mode is not supported by Macintosh's built-in IDE/ATA controller. You must use the Master/Slave jumper setting. 2. Before handling the hard drive or any other components, discharge static electricity by touching the metal chassis of your computer or by wearing a grounding strap. 3. Power off the computer, unplug the power cord. 4. Remove the computer system outside cover (if necessary, refer to your computer system manual for instructions). 5. Install the hard drive in your Macintosh system with the interface cable supplied with your Power Mac. 6. Use the Apple Disk Utility to format and partition the drive. The utility is located on the Macintosh operating system CD. 7. Remove the CD and restart the computer to use your new Western Digital hard drive. DATA LIFEGUARD TOOLS V11.0 - 21
