6-6. Adding a hard disk drive
Your computer supports up to 4 E-IDE controllers and 2 hard disk drives.
The following instruction describes the most typical configuration where your comput-
er already has a master hard disk drive and you are adding a slave hard disk drive.
ãAlways wear gloves to avoid injury when disassembling the computer.
ãIf the master hard drive is set to CS(Cable Select), the slave drive must also be set to
CS(Cable Select).
ãUsing screws other than the ones provided with the hard disk drive can damage the drive.
Using longer or thicker screws can be fatal to the disk drive. A hard disk drive must be
mounted securely in order to provide reliable performance.
Before adding a hard disk drive
Adding a hard disk drive
ãCheck and write down the jumper settings, size, and number of
cylinders, heads, and sectors of the hard disk drive where you
can refer to when you use the system setup.
(Some hard disk drives do not have the information written on the drive)
