Installing a drive
1.
If you are installing a parallel drive, make sure the drive is set correctly as
either a master or a slave device. Jumper the new drive the same as the drive
being replaced. Serial ATA hard disk drives do not require a master/slave
jumper.
Refer to the documentation that comes with your drive for master/slave
jumper information.
2. Install the drive into the bay. Align the screw holes and install two screws to
secure the drive.
