English
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 drive may require that you install an appropriate device
driver. Refer to your operating system documentation for details.
Installing an IDE Hard Disk Drive in an Internal Shelf
CAUTION
Handle the hard disk drive with care. Avoid shocks and violent
movement as this can cause damage to the hard disk drive’s internal
components.
Make sure that you back up your files before you install a hard disk
drive. Refer to your operating system documentation for information on
how to do this.
There are two internal shelves for 3.5-inch hard disk drives. Both
shelves are located under the floppy disk drive. One shelf already has a
hard disk drive installed in it. You can use the second shelf for a second
3.5-inch hard disk drive.
To install a new drive:
1
Disconnect the computer’s power supply cord and any connection to
a telecommunications network.
2
Remove the computer’s cover.
3
Disconnect the power and data cables from the rear of the floppy
disk drive and the existing hard disk drive.
