Configuring A Device After Installation; Connecting Ide Devices - HP Vectra XM5 4 User Manual

CONFIGURING A DEVICE AFTER INSTALLATION

After installing a second IDE drive, or after installing any flexible disk drive, you will need to
verify that your PC has correctly identified the new configuration, by viewing the HP Summary
Screen. Refer to the "HP Summary Screen" in chapter 3. If the configuration is not correct, run
the Setup program to configure the device. Refer to "The HP Setup Program" (chapter 3) for
details of how to do this.

CONNECTING IDE DEVICES

There are three data cables inside your PC. Two of these are for IDE devices:
• The first is marked "HDD" next to the system board attachment. It has two drive
connectors. The middle connector of this data cable must be connected to the bootable or
master hard disk drive.
• The second data cable has only one drive connector. It is red and marked "CD-ROM" next
to the system board attachment.
Up to three IDE devices can be connected to the system board using these data cables.(Refer
to the storage device's manual to check whether you need to set jumpers, or if there are any
special installation procedures.)
