configure the external drive as drive 1 and the internal drive
as drive 2.

Turn the system OFF.

configured as drive 2 (the external drive is already
configured as drive 1).
NOTE:
You do not need to
remove the terminating resistor from your internal drive.
3. Change the 20-pin data cable from 12 to 13; the external
.-.,
drive is connected to the controller via the J4 bracket
connector.
4. Format the external drive as drive
"C"
and the internal
drive as drive "D".
You will boot from the external
drive.
WARNING:
Whenever you install a new hard disk
controller, you must reformat the hard disk drive.
Therefore, back up the data on the original internal hard
disk drive.
5. From now on, you will boot from the external drive
(known as Drive 1) and the internal drive will be
known as Drive 2. If your external drive has its own
power supply, turn ON your external drive first before
you turn on your system.
