Replacing and Adding Drives

As you prepare to install drives, keep the following in mind:

To remove and install drives, you need a grounding wrist strap and a
Phillips screwdriver. If you remove a drive, place it in an antistatic bag.

Before you install a drive, see the drive’s documentation for information
on configuring the drive, setting any jumpers on the drive, and attaching
cables to the drive.

If you are installing a drive that uses an add-in controller, install the
add-in card before you install the drive.

IDE hard drives can be configured as single, master, or slave. IDE CD
drives can be configured as master or slave. Configure the drives by using
the drive-select jumpers located on the drives.
