Installing a second hard drive
If your PC model does not have a 6-In-1 memory card
reader, the bottom slot of the drive cage is empty and
can accommodate an additional 3.5-inch hard drive.
1
Remove the drive cage. (See page 52.)
2
Make sure the jumper on the new hard drive is in the
CS (Cable Select) position. Slide the new drive into
the empty slot in the drive cage until the screw holes
align.
3
Install the two screws.
4
Replace the drive cage. (See page 53.)
5
Attach the power cable to the back of the drive.
6
Attach the connector marked Master on the IDE
ribbon cable to the back of the preinstalled hard
drive. After the preinstalled hard drive connection
is attached, twist the remaining part of the cable,
marked
Slave on that same IDE ribbon cable, and
connect it to the second hard drive.
7
If necessary, connect the IDE cable connector marked
Motherboard or CPU board to the motherboard.
