Hard disk drive

The system supports a 3.5" IDE or SATA hard disk drive.
To install a hard disk drive:
1. Place the chassis upright, then remove the upper 3.5" drive bay metal
plate cover.
2. Insert the hard disk drive to the bay, then carefully push the drive
until its screw holes align with the holes on the bay.
3. Secure the hard disk drive with two screws on both sides of the bay.
4. For SATA HDD: Connect the SATA signal and power plugs to the
connectors at the back of the drive.
Some Serial ATA HDDs have two power connectors (legacy 4-pin and
SATA power 15-pin). Depending on the available power supply plugs,
use only one of the power connectors. Connecting a power plug on both
connectors could damage the drive.
For IDE HDD: Connect the IDE and power plugs to the connectors at the
back of the drive.
5. For SATA HDD: Connect the other end of the Serial ATA cable to a
SATA connector on the motherboard. See page 4-7 for the location of
the Serial ATA connectors.
For IDE HDD: Connect the other end of IDE cable to the connector
(labeled PRI_IDE) on the motherboard. See page 4-6 for the location
of the IDE connectors.
