Which Drive Connectors To Use

When replacing hard disk drives, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or CD-RW
drives, ensure you use the correct data and power connectors.
IDE hard disk drives should always be connected to the primary IDE
controller. CD-ROM and CD-RW drives should always be connected to
the secondary IDE controller. PRIMARY and SECONDARY are printed on
the system board to help you locate the connectors.
For models that have a SCSI adapter, you can install extra internal
SCSI mass storage devices, such as a supplementary SCSI hard disk
drive. Up to two hard disk drives can be installed in your PC.
