Installing Mass Storage Devices

You can install additional mass storage devices, if you need extra mass
storage space for your application software.
You can install a non-IDE hard disk drive or CD-ROM device, but it will
need an accessory board and driver software (usually supplied with the
device). Contact the product vendor for further information.

Connecting IDE Devices

There are three data cables inside your PC. Two of these are for IDE
devices:
The first cable is marked "HDD" and has two drive connectors for
•
connecting Ultra ATA hard disk drives (non-Ultra ATA drives are also
supported). The end connector of this data cable must be connected
to the bootable or master hard disk drive.
The second data cable is marked "CD-ROM" and has two drive
•
connectors. This cable can be used for a CD-ROM drive, a Zip drive,
or a third hard disk drive. Do not connect Ultra ATA drives to this
data cable.
