Memory Module Installation - IBM 621410U - IntelliStation E - Pro 6214 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Review the following information before connecting power and signal cables to
internal drives:
v The drives that are preinstalled in the computer come with power and signal
v When you install a drive, ensure that the drive connector at the end of the signal
v If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the
v If two IDE devices are on a single cable, and only one is a hard disk drive, the
v If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as a primary device.

Memory module installation

Adding memory to the computer is an easy way to make programs run faster. You
can increase the amount of memory in the computer by installing memory
modules. The IntelliStation E Pro computer uses industry-standard dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs).
Do the following to install a DIMM:

electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices" on page 134.

- If the cable has two connectors, one of these connectors is attached to the
hard disk drive, and the other attaches to the primary or secondary IDE
connector on the system board.
Note: The CD-ROM drive is attached to an ATA 66 signal cable. ATA 66
signal cables are color-coded. The blue connector attaches to the system
board. The black connector attaches to the primary device. The gray
middle connector attaches to the secondary device. If you are installing
a hard disk drive, you must change the switch or jumper setting on the
CD-ROM drive to secondary and change the connector used for the
CD-ROM drive to the gray middle connector.
– The narrower signal cable has two connectors, one to attach to the diskette
drive, and the other to attach to the connector (FDD1) on the system board.
– If the computer comes with a SCSI adapter and SCSI hard disk drive, the
following cables can be used to attach SCSI devices to the SCSI host adapter:
- An Ultra160 twisted ribbon cable connects the internal Ultra160 SCSI hard
disk drive to the SCSI connector on the SCSI adapter. This cable has five
additional connectors for attaching more internal SCSI devices.
- A round SCSI cable connects external SCSI devices to the SCSI adapter so
that you can add external SCSI devices. For more information about
connecting SCSI devices, see the SCSI documentation on the Software
Selections CD that comes with the computer.
Note: To locate connectors on the system board, see "System board internal
cable connectors" on page 44.

cable is attached to which drive.

connected to the system board. This reduces electronic noise from the computer.
primary device and the other as the secondary device; otherwise, the computer
might not recognize some of the IDE devices. The primary and secondary
designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device.
