Installing a Hard Disk Drive
1. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your system case.
2. Plug the IDE cable into the primary IDE channel on the mainboard
IDE1.
3. Plug one of the connectors on the IDE cable into the IDE connector
on the back edge of the hard disk drive. It doesn't matter which
connector on the cable that you use. Make sure that you have the
pin-1 side of the cable matched with the pin-1 side of the connector.
4. Plug a power cable from the case power supply unit into the power
connector on the back edge of the hard disk drive.
5. When you first start up your system, go immediately to the setup
utility and use the IDE Hard Disk Auto Detect feature to configure the
IDE devices that you have installed. See Chapter three for more
information.
