Installing and Replacing Hardware Parts Mass Storage and Optical Device Overview Installing IDE Drives NOTE Before installing an IDE Hard disk, refer to the drive's installation guide to check jumper settings or if there is a special installation procedure to follow. There are three or four data cables inside your Workstation. Two of these are for IDE devices. • The ATA IDE cable supports two IDE devices. This cable is connected to the Primary IDE connector on the system board. The bootable hard disk drive is connected to this cable via the MASTER connector. A second hard disk drive could be installed by using the SLAVE connector. • A second IDE drive cable supports two IDE devices. If you install a CD-ROM drive, a DVD drive or a Zip drive, connect it to this cable. • The third cable has one connector for a floppy drive. • SCSI models have an additional cable and connectors. For more information, refer to "Installing SCSI Drives" on page 164. The following table explains which data connectors you should use when you install additional devices.
