Attaching the drive
1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord, and
open the cover.
2. Match pin 1 of the 40 pin cable to pin 1 of the drive
interface connector. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a
stripe along the edge of the cable.
3. Insert a power plug in either the 3 or 4 pin power
connector.
Configuring your computer
1. If your computer has a plug-in IDE card with a drive
installation procedure, follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
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 recon-
figure, enter your computer’s Setup, typically by key
selection or keyboard combinations during power-on
or during a reboot. Refer to your computer’s
documentation for the proper key sequence. If the
computer fails to boot up, power off, remove the new
hard drive and return your system to its original con-
figuration. 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.
