Preinstallation steps: Before you replace drives in your computer, verify that you
have all the cables and other equipment specified in the documentation that comes
with the drive. You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities.
Some steps are required only during the initial installation of an option.
If you want to replace a drive, see the User's Guide.
1. Read "Safety information" on page v, "Handling static-sensitive devices" on
page 11, and the documentation that comes with your drive.
2. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
3. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any
switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SCSI device, be sure to
set the SCSI ID for that device.
Power and signal cables for internal drives: Your computer uses cables to
connect IDE, SCSI, and diskette devices to the power supply and to the system
board. The following cables are provided:
v Four-wire power cables connect the drives to the power supply. At the end of
these cables are plastic connectors that attach to different drives; these
connectors vary in size. Also, certain power cables attach to the system board.
v Flat signal cables, also called ribbon cables, connect IDE and diskette drives to
the system board. There are two sizes of ribbon cables that come with your
computer.
– The wider IDE signal cable has two or three connectors.
- If the cable has three connectors, one of these connectors is attached to
the drive, one is a spare, and the third attaches to the primary or secondary
IDE connector on the system board.
