Attaching the drive
1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord, and
open the case.
2. Match pin 1 of the 40-pin cable to pin 1 of the drive
interface connector. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a
stripe along the edge of the cable.
3. Attach a power plug to either the 3- or 4-pin power
connector.
Mounting the Drive
1. Mount the drive securely, using the appropriate
brackets or rails, in any axes, using four 6-32 UNC
metric screws in either bottom or side mounting
holes.
2. The maximum screw insertion depth for the bottom
mounting is 4 mm and for side mounting 4.5 mm.
Configuring your computer
1. If your computer has a plug-in IDE card with a drive
installation procedure, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Plug in the power cord and power on your
computer. Your computer may detect a configuration
change and prompt you to proceed to the Setup
screen. If so, proceed to step 4.
3. If your computer does not prompt you to reconfig-
ure, enter your computer’s Setup, typically by key
selection or keyboard combinations during power-on
or during a reboot. Refer to your computer’s docu-
mentation for the proper key sequence. If the com-
puter fails to boot up, power off, remove the new hard
drive and return your system to its original configur-
ation. Reboot and enter your computer’s Setup.
Follow the directions in step 4, then reattach the new
hard drive.
4. Select “Auto Detect” if your computer Setup sup-
ports this feature. If your computer does not Auto
Detect the drive, select the appropriate UDT (User
Definable Type) for the model being installed.
Then run Disk Manager.
