Before you install hard disk drives in the computer, verify that you have all the
cables and other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the
hard disk drive. You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities.
Some of the steps are required only during the initial installation of an option.
SCSI Controller

use with Ultra160 SCSI devices.
If the computer has preinstalled software, you can find information about the SCSI
controller and connecting devices by clicking Start --> Access IBM--> Get help -->
View documentation. SCSI documentation is also on the Software Selections CD
that comes with the computer.
Power and signal cables for internal drives

system board. The drives that are preinstalled in the computer come with power
and signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, it is important to remember
which cable is attached to which drive. The following cables are provided:
v Four-wire power cables connect most drives to the power supply. At the end of
