Chapter 4. Working with Adapters and Internal Drives This chapter provides information and instructions for installing and removing adapters and internal drives. When you are installing or removing adapters, it is important to resolve any resource conflicts that might arise. For example, if you install an ISA legacy adapter, you might need to manually configure the adapter by setting a variety of switches on the adapter and by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Many adapters now use Plug and Play technology which enables the computer to automatically configure the adapter, provided that the required resources are available. Refer to the instructions that come with your adapter to determine if it is Plug and Play. For more information, see "Adapter Configuration" on page 28. When you are installing an internal drive, it is important to note what kind of drive you can install in each bay and the height restrictions imposed by each drive bay. Also, it is important to correctly connect the internal drive cables to the installed drive. For more information, see "Internal Drives" on page 39. Before you begin Read "Electrical Safety" on page 4 and "Handling Static-Sensitive Devices" on page 5. Read the instructions that come with the option you want to install or replace. Turn off the computer and all other connected devices. Disconnect all cables attached to the computer and remove the computer cover (see "Disconnecting Cables and Removing the Cover" on page 6). 26 © Copyright IBM Corp. 1997

Chapter 4.
Working with Adapters and Internal Drives
This chapter provides information and instructions for installing and removing
adapters and internal drives.
When you are installing or removing adapters, it is important to resolve any
resource conflicts that might arise.
For example, if you install an ISA legacy
adapter, you might need to manually configure the adapter by setting a variety of
switches on the adapter and by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Many adapters now use
Plug and Play
technology which enables the computer to
automatically configure the adapter, provided that the required resources are
available.
Refer to the instructions that come with your adapter to determine if it is
Plug and Play.
For more information, see “Adapter Configuration” on page
28.
When you are installing an internal drive, it is important to note what kind of drive
you can install in each bay and the height restrictions imposed by each drive bay.
Also, it is important to correctly connect the internal drive cables to the installed
drive.
For more information, see “Internal Drives” on page
