Note:

To locate connectors on the riser card, see “Locating components on
the riser card” on page 79.

The following are some important points to remember when connecting
power and signal cables to internal drives:

The drives that are preinstalled in your computer come with power and
signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, it is important to
remember which cable is attached to which drive.

When you install a drive, ensure that the drive connector at the end of
the signal cable is always connected to a drive; also, ensure that the
drive connector at the other end is connected to the riser card. This
reduces electronic noise from the computer.

If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated
as the primary or master device and the other as the secondary,
subordinate, or slave device; otherwise, the system might not recognize
some of the IDE devices. The primary or secondary designation is
determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device.

If two IDE devices are on a single cable, and only one is a hard disk
drive, the hard disk drive must be set as the master device.

If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as master.

For help in selecting drives, cables, and other options for your computer, do
one of the following:

Within the United States, call 1-800-IBM-2YOU (1-800-426-2968), your
IBM reseller, or your IBM marketing representative.

Within Canada, call 1-800-565-3344 or 1-800-465-7999.

Outside the United States and Canada, contact your IBM reseller or
IBM marketing representative.

Installing drives in bays 1, 2, or 3

Use the instructions in this section to help you to install drives in bays
1 through 3.

Before you begin

Turn off the computer and all other connected devices.

Disconnect all cables attached to the computer.

Attention:

The presence of 5 V standby power might result in

damage to your hardware unless you disconnect the power cord
from the wall before opening the computer.

Remove the computer cover (see “Removing the cover” on
page 77).
