To take advantage of the Ultra ATA/66 transfer rate available with the Deskstar 22GXP and 25GP, an
add-on Ultra ATA/66 controller must be used. This card can be plugged into one of the expansion slots.
The Deskstar drive would then be connected to the Ultra ATA/66 card rather than the primary or
secondary slot on the motherboard.
If you are not using an Ultra ATA/66 card, plug the IDE cable into one of the two available slots on the
motherboard. The first two devices should be connected to the “primary” slot and the second two
devices should be connected to the “secondary” slot. These devices may be hard drives, CD-ROMS, or
removable drives.
Complete the physical installation by replacing the cover on the computer, connecting all cables, and
plugging the power cord into the wall.

is necessary if your BIOS does not support drives over 8.4 GB. This easy installation will use the Disk
Manager diskette to partition and format your drive. If the easy installation does not work, or you choose
not to use Disk Manager, continue to the section entitled Custom Installation.
