As you prepare to install drives, keep the following in mind:
To remove and install drives, you need a grounding wrist strap and
a Phillips screwdriver. If you remove a drive, place it in an antistatic
bag.
Before you install a drive, see the drive's documentation for
information on configuring the drive, setting any jumpers on the
drive, and attaching cables to the drive.
If you are installing a drive that uses an add-in controller, install
the add-in card before you install the drive.
IDE hard drives can be configured as single, master, or slave. IDE
CD-ROM drives can be configured as master or slave. Configure the
drives by using the drive-select jumpers located on the drives.
If only one drive is attached to a controller cable, configure the
drive as single if it is a hard drive or master if it is a CD-ROM drive.
If two drives of any type are attached to the cable, configure one
as master and one as slave.
You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS
Setup utility program. Press F1 at start up to access the BIOS Setup
utility program.
