Attaching the drive
1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord, and
open the cover.

interface connector. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a
stripe along the edge of the cable.
3. Mount the drive securely.
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 com-
puter. Your computer may detect a configuration
change and prompt you to proceed to the Setup
screen.
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.
