1 How to Install Accessories in Your Desktop PC Installing Mass Storage Devices Which Power Connectors to Use There are two different types of power connectors-these are shown below. Power connectors for hard disk drives, Zip drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives Power connector for 3.5-inch flexible disk drive Some of the power connectors will already be connected to devices. If you install a device that requires a different connector, the connector converter should be supplied with the device. Selecting the Bootable Drive To select the drive to start (boot) from, you must enter the Setup program and go to Advanced - Advanced CMOS Setup. You can then select the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Boot Devices. Connecting a hard disk drive to the IDE master connector does not ensure that the PC will boot on that hard disk drive. It is the boot order settings in the Setup program that determine the boot order. Refer to page 84 for more information. Jumper Settings Refer to the IDE drive's manual to see if you must set jumpers. The drive jumper should be set to "cable select" or "CS". 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 while the Vectra logo is displayed during system startup). If the configuration is not correct, run the Setup program to configure the device (press while the Vectra logo is displayed during system startup). English 9
