Connecting Devices

When replacing hard disk drives, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or CD-RW drives,
ensure you use the correct data and power connectors.
IDE hard disk drives should always be connected to the primary IDE
controller. CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and CD-RW drives should always be
connected to the secondary IDE controller. PRIMARY and SECONDARY are
printed on the system board to help you locate the connectors.
Power Connectors
Do not connect a hard drive on the one hand and a CD-ROM, CD-RW or
DVD drive on the other to the same IDE cable as this would adversely
affect the drives' performance.
The IDE cables in your PC are cable select. You must, therefore, set any
IDE devices you install to cable select. See the documentation for the
device for more information.
