6. Touch the static-protective package containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the computer; then, remove the drive from the package and place it
on a static-protective surface.
7. Follow the instructions that come with the drive to set any jumpers or switches
on the drive, if any.
Note: You might find it easier to install the new drive into the appropriate
opening on the front, and then attach the cables.
8. If you are installing a 5.25-in. drive in bay 2, push the drive into the bay; then,
use the two screws to attach the drive to the drive cage. If you are installing a
3.5-in. drive in bay 2, you must attach the 5.25-in. conversion kit, supplied with
your option, to the 3.5-in. drive.
9. Determine whether the drive is an IDE or SCSI device; then, connect one end
of the appropriate signal cable into the back of the drive and the other end of
this cable into the appropriate IDE or SCSI connector on the system board.
See "Power and signal cables for internal drives" on page 63 for additional
information about cabling drives and "System-board internal connectors" on
page 51 for the location of IDE and SCSI connectors on the system board. If
there are open connectors on the cables connecting existing IDE or SCSI
drives, these cables can be used to connect the new drive.
10. Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the
drives or over the microprocessor.
11. Connect the power cable to the back of the drive. The connectors are keyed
and can be inserted only one way.
12. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
13. Replace the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support
bracket" on page 53).
14. Replace the side cover (see "Replacing the side cover" on page 67).
15. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached
devices and the computer.
Installing a hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7
Bays 5, 6, and 7 are in the drive cage. The drive cage is behind the front of the
adapter-support bracket.
Note: When installing options, you might find it easier to work with the computer
lying on its side.
Complete the following steps to install a drive in bay 5, 6, or 7:
1. Follow the instructions in "Preinstallation steps" on page 59.
2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices. See "Turning off the computer"
on page 10 for instructions.
3. Disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the cover (see
"Removing the side cover" on page 52).
4. Remove the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support
bracket" on page 53).
