DRIVE UPGRADES

This chapter describes how to add an E-IDE hard disk or removable
media drive to your computer.
Warning
Never carry out any work inside the computer with AC power applied.
Always shut down the computer and unplug all power cords before
removing the top cover.

Configuring an E-IDE drive

Your computer can accommodate a total of three E-IDE drives. The
first drive, which contains the operating system, is always configured
as the 'master' drive. Other drives must be configured as 'slave'
devices.
Drives are normally configured as master or slave by using jumpers
on the drive itself. Configuration details vary from drive to drive.
Most drives are supplied with documentation describing how to
configure the drive. If you are uncertain about configuring the drive
consult your supplier.
Example
The example drive shown below is configured as master or slave by the
position of a jumper on the rear of the drive.
