Complete IDE Series: IDE200
Section Five: Physical Installation
5.1 Removing the System Cover
1. Power down the system and remove the power cord from the back of
the system.
2. Unplug the keyboard cable as well as all cables to monitors, printers
and other devices from other boards and remember where they were
attached. You will need to reattach them after the installation of the
IDE200 is complete.
3. Using a small screwdriver, remove the screws that attach the
system’s cover to the rear panel. Carefully remove the cover, being
careful not to let the cover catch on internal cables to the disk drive
and power supply. Once the cover is off, you will be able to see the
internal components and adapter boards inside.
5.2 Inserting the IDE200 controller
1. Select an empty expansion slot and remove the screw and the metal
plate that covers the external access to the slot you have selected.
2. Insert the IDE200 controller in the slot you have selected so the edge
connector on the bottom rear of the board mates with the connector
on the motherboard (system board). Press down firmly on the board.
3. Use the removed screw to secure the board. NOTE: Depending on the
physical layout of your system, it may be easier to attach drive and LED
cables before inserting the IDE into the slot on the system board.
