Replace and copy a Master drive

The following steps replace an existing Primary Master drive with the IBM Deskstar and
install the existing drive as Primary Slave. Data is then copied from the Primary Slave to

Begin the hardware install

• Turn off your computer system.
• Remove cover as instructed by your computer
system manual.
• Discharge static electricity by touching an unpainted
metal surface on your computer chassis with one
hand. Touch the ESD bag with the other hand.
Remain in contact with the chassis and the bag for
at least two seconds.
• Unplug your computer.
• Note mounting position of existing drives and cables.
• If replacing a cable with a 40 pin, 80 conductor
ATA/IDE cable, remove it now.

Configure the jumper settings

• Record the serial number, part number, and model number in the spaces provided in
the Appendix for future reference.
Note: Placement of model, part, and serial numbers may vary.
