Installing a drive
To install an internal drive, follow these steps:
1. Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 34.
2. If your computer has a CD drive or DVD drive, you might need to remove the
signal and power cables from the drive.
3. Remove the bay panel from the drive bay by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver
at the end and gently prying it loose.
4. Remove the metal shield from the drive bay by inserting a flat-blade
screwdriver into one of the slots and gently prying it loose.
5. Make sure the drive that you are installing is set correctly as either a master or
a slave device.
Note: A serial ATA hard disk drive does not need to be set as either a master
or a slave device.
v If it is the first CD drive or DVD drive, set it as a master device.
v If it is an additional CD drive or DVD drive, set it as a slave device.
v If it is an additional parallel ATA hard disk drive, set it as a slave device.
Refer to the documentation that comes with your drive for master/slave
jumper information.
