Installing Mass Storage Devices

You can install extra IDE mass storage devices such as a supplementary
hard disk drive, a Zip drive, a CD-ROM drive, and a tape drive. Up to
two hard disk drives can be installed in your PC.
You can install a non-IDE hard disk drive or CD-ROM device, but it will
need an accessory board, cable and driver software (usually supplied
with the device). Contact the product vendor for further information.

Connecting Devices

If you add a Zip drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, or tape drive,
you need to connect it to power and data cables. The data cables are
shown below:
There are three data cables inside your PC. Two of these are for IDE
devices.
