2 How to Install Accessories In Your PC
Installing Mass Storage Devices
28 English
Installing Mass Storage Devices
You can install additional mass storage devices, if you need extra mass
storage space for your application software.
NOTE You can install a non-IDE hard disk drive or CD-ROM device, but it will
need an accessory board and driver software (usually supplied with the
device). Contact the product vendor for further information.
Connecting IDE Devices
There are three data cables inside your PC. Two of these are for IDE
devices:
•
The first is marked “Primary IDE” next to the system board
attachment. It has two drive connectors. The middle connector of
this data cable must be connected to the bootable or master hard
disk drive.
•
The second data cable has only one drive connector. It is marked
“Secondary IDE” next to the system board attachment.
