Close the case (see “Closing the case” on page 19.)
10 Reconnect the power and modem cords, and turn on the system.
Adding a second hard drive
The system comes with a metal drive-mounting bracket you can use to install
an additional internal hard drive. Due to difficulties in routing the existing
IDE connector cable to this drive, you will need to purchase a PCI IDE drive
controller add-in card and an additional IDE connector cable to complete the
installation.
To install a second hard drive:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2
Open the case (see “Opening the case” on page 17), observing the “Static
electricity precautions” on page 15.
3
Locate and remove the two screws that attach the mounting bracket to
the front of the chassis.
4
Remove the CD drive from the chassis so you can access the mounting
bracket. (see “3.5-inch diskette or CD drives” on page 24, for instructions
on removing the CD drive.)
