Step1.
Prepare your computer for the drive installation: Fig 1
Save your files and as a precaution make sure your system back
up files are up to date. Now run your shut down procedures. Once
shut down is complete, turn off power and unplug your computer.
Discharge static electricity and remove your computer's cover.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage your
computer's internal parts. To discharge static electricity, touch
a bare metal (unpainted) part of your computer chassis before
touching anything inside your computer.
To install the drive into your computer, remove an available half-
height drive bay cover (half-height drive bays are 5.75" wide and
1.75" high)
If you do not have a half-height drive bay available you may
replace an existing drive. Choose the drive you want to replace
and remove it, putting aside any cables that you unplug and any
mounting hardware. These may be used later.
Step 2.
Set Up Drive Jumper: Fig 2
The Jumper is a small cap that fits over pairs of pins on the back
of the drive. You can pull off the jumper or replace it with
needle-nose pliers. The jumper is used to set the drive as a master
or slave drive on the IDE controller that you will connect to the
drive. Most systems now have two (2) IDE controllers. They are
referred to as primary and secondary. Each IDE controller can
have one or two devices. Find your IDE mother board controller
connectors by following the cable plugged into your Boot hard
drive to the mother board. The connector where your Boot hard
drive is plugged into on the mother board should be labeled PRI
