NOTE

Installing a Hard Disk Drive

The computer has an integrated SCSI controller and an integrated
Enhanced IDE controller.
The Enhanced IDE controller supports up to four IDE devices:
•
two IDE devices can be connected to the Primary Channel cable
(connected to the grey connector on the system board)
two IDE devices can be connected to the Secondary Channel
cable (connected to the red connector on the system board)
The SCSI controller supports up to seven SCSI devices
•
(up to four SCSI devices can be connected to the internal SCSI
cable).
Refer to the drive's installation guide to see if you must set jumpers or if
there is a special installation procedure to follow.
If you are installing an additional SCSI drive you must select a SCSI
address for the new drive. SCSI addresses range from 0 to 7, with SCSI
address 0 used by the first SCSI drive and SCSI address 7 reserved for
the integrated SCSI controller.
You do not need to select a SCSI address for Plug and Play SCSI hard
disks (SCSI hard disks that support the SCAM protocol).
You should assign an unused SCSI address to the second SCSI hard
disk drive (for example, SCSI address 1).
The SCSI address is usually configured with jumpers on the SCSI hard
disk drive. Refer to the installation guide supplied with the drive for
information on selecting a SCSI address.
Some SCSI disk drives may have termination resistors that must be
removed or disabled before installation in your computer. Refer to the
drive's installation guide for more details and to see if there is a special
installation procedure to follow.
