preinstallation steps
some of these steps are required only during the initial installation of an internal drive.
1. review the safety information beginning on page vii, “installation guidelines” on page 27, and the documentation that comes with your drive.
2. verify that you have all the cables and other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the drive.
3. choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
4. check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any switches or jumpers on the drive. if you are installing a scsi device, be sure to set the scsi id for that device.
installing a drive in bay 2
complete the following steps to install a drive in bay 2:
1. follow the instructions in “preinstallation steps” on page 39.
2. turn off the computer and all attached devices.
3. disconnect all power cords; then disconnect all external cables.
4. remove the side cover (see “removing the side cover” on page 31).
5. remove the support bracket (see “removing and installing the support bracket” on page 33).
6. use a screwdriver to pry the filler panel and emc shield away from the computer.
if you are installing a drive that contains a laser, observe the following safety precaution.
when laser products (such as cd-roms, dvd drives, fiber optic devices, or transmitters) are installed, note the following:
1 do not remove the covers. removing the covers of the laser product could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. there are no serviceable parts inside the device.
2 use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
some laser products contain an embedded class 3a or class 3b laser diode. note the following. laser radiation when open. do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.
7. touch the static-protective package containing the drive to any unpainted metal surface on the computer; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.

power and signal cables for internal drives
your computer uses cables to connect ide and scsi devices to the power supply and to the system board. (see “system-board internal connectors” on page 29 for the location of system-board connectors.) review the following information before connecting power and signal cables to internal drives:
1 the drives that are preinstalled in your computer come with power and signal cables attached. if you replace any drives, remember which cable is attached to which drive.
2 when you install a drive, ensure that one of the drive connectors of the signal cable is connected to the drive and that the connector at the other end of the signal cable is connected to the system board.
3 the computer has two ide buses, primary and secondary. each of these buses supports up to two ide devices. the primary ide bus uses connector ide1 on the system board and the secondary ide bus uses connector ide2.
4 if you have only one ide device on a cable, it must be set as a master device.
5 if two ide devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the master device and the other as the subordinate device; otherwise, the computer might not recognize some of the ide devices. the master and subordinate designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each ide device.
6 if two ide devices are on a single cable and only one is a hard disk drive, the hard disk drive must be set as a master device.
the following cables are provided:
7 power cables: four-wire power cables connect the drives to the power supply.
at the end of these cables are plastic connectors that can be attached to different drives; these connectors vary in size.
8 signal cables: signal cables are typically flat cables, also called ribbon cables, that connect ide, scsi, and diskette drives to the system board. two or three types of signal cable come with your computer.
ide: the wider ide signal cable has three connectors. one of these connectors is attached to the drive, one is a spare, and the third is attached to the primary or secondary ide connector on the system board. the spare connector can be used to connect additional ide drives to your computer.
the cd-rom drive is attached to an ata 100 signal cable. ata 100 signal cables are color-coded. the blue connector is attached to the system board.
the black connector is attached to the master ide device. the gray middle connector is attached to the subordinate ide device. if you are installing an additional hard disk drive, you must change the switch or jumper setting on the cd-rom drive to make the drive a subordinate device, set the switch or jumper setting on the new drive to master, and change the connector used for the cd-rom drive to the gray middle connector. the new drive will be connected to the black master ide device connector.
diskette drive: the narrower signal cable has two connectors. one is attached to the diskette drive, and the other is attached to the connector (fdd1) on the system board.
scsi: a round scsi cable connects scsi devices to the integrated scsi controller with raid capabilities on the system board. for more information about connecting scsi devices, see the scsi documentation.
