2 How to Install Accessories In Your PC
Installing Mass Storage Devices
Installing Mass Storage Devices
If you need to have extra mass storage space for your application
software, you can install additional mass storage devices, such as a
flexible disk drive, hard disk drive, or tape drive.
Your PC already has one hard disk drive installed in the back shelf. You
can install another hard disk drive in the bottom internal shelf, beneath
the existing hard disk drive.
Your PC has a 3.5-inch flexible disk drive and a CD-ROM drive installed
in two front-access device shelves. Two more front-access device
shelves are available to install flexible disk drives, CD-ROM drives, or
tape drives.
Your PC has the following cables and connectors on the system board
which may be used by mass storage devices:
• An Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard disk drive
cable. This supports up to two IDE hard disk drives, one of which is
already connected. On the system board, this cable’s connector is
labeled “Primary IDE”.
• A second Enhanced IDE drive cable with two red connectors. If you
install a CD-ROM drive, or a third hard disk drive, or both, connect it
or them to this cable. On the system board, this cable’s connector is
labeled “Secondary IDE”.
• A flexible disk drive cable. This supports up to two flexible disk
drives, one of which is already connected.
NOTE You can install a non-IDE mass storage device, but this requires an
accessory board and driver software. Contact your authorized reseller
for information.
