You may install a non-IDE storage device, but this requires an expansion card and driver software. Contact your
HP-authorized support agent or reseller for information.
If you install a hard disk drive and connect it to the same cable to which the CD-ROM drive is connected, the hard
disk drive must be connected to the middle connector, not the end connector. If you have a CD-ROM drive currently
connected to the middle connector, you must reconnect the CD-ROM drive to the end connector of the cable, and
then attach the new hard disk drive to the middle connector.
