Installing a Second Hard
Drive
To install a second hard drive:
NOTE
The second hard drive is installed in the lower expansion bay. If this bay
already contains another device, for example, a CD-RW or Zip drive, you
must remove it in order to install a second hard drive.
1 Remove the computer’s cover and front panel (described in this
chapter).
2 Remove any installed devices from the upper and lower expansion
bays (see “Installing and Upgrading Removable Media Devices” on
page 55).
3 Fit the new data cable to the 2ND IDE connector on the system
board.
NOTE
HP cannot guarantee that a second hard drive will function properly if
you use the IDE cable originally provided with your PC. You must use a
special shielded cable with the “Master” connector at the end. This cable
can be ordered on the Web from
www.hp.com/go/pcaccessories
.
4 Stand the PC on its left side on a flat surface.
