This section includes information on installing, partitioning, and formatting EIDE hard-
disk drives. For instructions on installing, partitioning, and formatting SCSI hard-disk
drives, see "Installing SCSI Devices" found later in this chapter.
Up to four 1-inch or up to two 1-inch and two 1.6-inch EIDE drives can be installed in
the internal hard-disk drive cage below the externally accessible 5.25-inch drive bays.
All EIDE devices should be configured for the cable select jumper position, which
assigns master and slave status to devices by their position on the EIDE cable. When
two EIDE devices are connected to a single EIDE cable and are configured for the
cable select jumper position, the device attached to the last connector on the inter-
face cable is the master or boot device (drive 0) and the device attached to the middle
connector on the interface cable is the slave device (drive 1). Refer to the drive docu-
mentation in your upgrade kit for information on setting devices to the cable select
jumper position.
With the two EIDE interface connectors on the system board, your system can sup-
port up to four EIDE devices. EIDE hard-disk drives should be connected to the EIDE
interface connector labeled "IDE1." (EIDE tape drives and CD-ROM drives should be
connected to the EIDE interface connector labeled "IDE2.")
Install an EIDE hard-disk drive in the hard-disk drive bracket as follows:
Check the documentation that accompanied the drive to verify that it is config-
ured for your computer system.
