Installing and Replacing Hardware Parts in Your PC Workstation

Installing Mass Storage Devices

The PC has an integrated Ultra ATA-66 controller that supports up to four

IDE devices. Removable media IDE devices, such as CD-ROM drives, DVD

drives, tape drives and Zip drives, require front access. In addition to the

floppy disk drive, your PC can support another 3.5-inch device plus two

front-access 5.25-inch devices. Note that one front-access shelf may already

have a CD-ROM drive installed in it.

Refer to the drive’s manual to see if you must set jumpers or if there is a

special installation procedure to follow.

If you add an IDE Zip drive, hard disk drive, DVD drive, CD-ROM drive,

CD-RW drive, or tape drive, you need to connect it to power and data

cables. The data cables and connectors provided are shown below.
