Note to Reviewers: Where will the guide rails and screws be located, inside
the empty drive bay?
11.
Slide the drive into the drive cage until the plastic tabs on the guide rails lock
into place in the drive cage.
12. If the drive is an IDE device, plug one connector of the IDE signal cable into
the back of the drive and the other end of the cable into the IDE connector
(IDE1) on the system board. For the location of the IDE connectors, see
“System board internal cable connectors” on page 32.
If the drive is a SCSI device, plug one connector of the SCSI signal cable into
the back of the drive and the other end of the cable into the SCSI adapter.
Note: Make sure to route the cable so that it does not block the air flow to the
rear of the drives or over the microprocessor.
13.
If you are installing another drive, do so now.
14. Connect one of the power cables from the power supply into the back of the
drive. The connectors are keyed and can be inserted only one way.
15. Hold the drive cage so it does not fall and pull out on the drive cage latch to
release the drive cage.
Attention: Ensure that all cables have been moved from under the drive
cage so that the power or signal cables are not damaged.
16. Pivot the drive bay cage back into the computer and press down on the cage
until it locks in place.
17.
If you have other adapters or options to install or remove, do so now.
18. Reinstall the cover (see “Installing the cover” on page 45 for details).
19.
Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then turn on the attached
devices and the computer.
Installing memory modules
Adding memory to your computer is an easy way to make programs run faster.
You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing options
called memory modules. Each module contains one industry-standard, dual-inline
memory module (DIMM). Your computer uses a noninterleaved memory
configuration.
Your computer comes with a DIMM installed on the system board in DIMM slot 1.
Notes:
1. When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory
module in DIMM slot 2, and the third in DIMM slot 3. (See the illustration this
section for memory connector locations.)
2. Your IntelliStation xxxx E Pro computer supports 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, and
512 MB DIMMs. Your computer supports a minimum of 64 MB and a
maximum of 1.5 GB of system memory. Go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support for a list of memory modules for use with
your computer.
3.
Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the
computer. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must change
and save the new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup
Utility program. When you restart the computer, the system displays a message
indicating that the memory configuration has changed. Start the
Configuration/Setup Utility program and select
Save & Exit Setup . See “Using
the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 23 for more information.
