the power cable.
2. Remove the side panel and front bezel. For more information, see " Opening the case ".
3. Check the existing connections. To locate and identify the connectors, see " Motherboard ".
The motherboard has two IDE connectors: a primary device connector and a secondary
device connector. The primary device connector is used for hard disk drives and the
secondary connector is used for devices in the upper 5.25-inch device bay.
The hard disk drive should be attached to the primary IDE connector and the CD-ROM
to the secondary connector. Be sure to match the red stripe (pin 1) on the cable connector
with pin 1 on the motherboard connector.
4. Locate the extra IDE drive connector on the end of the IDE cable that is attached to the back
of your existing hard disk drive. You will be connecting your new drive to this connector.
5. Locate an available power supply connector. You will be connecting your drive to this
connector.
6. Unpack your hard disk drive kit and check that it is complete.
When you add a new hard disk drive to the IDE connector that controls your existing drive, you
must configure one drive as the "master" and the other drive as the "slave."
Toshiba recommends that you configure the new drive as the "slave."
7. Follow the hard disk drive manufacturer's instructions to configure the new drive's jumpers
so it will act as a slave drive.
A pair of tweezers may make the job of moving tiny jumper shunts much easier.
8. Unplug the IDE cable and power cable from the top of your existing hard disk drive. The
drive is currently in the upper drive location in the chassis.
9. Install the new hard disk drive into the chassis using four screws.
10. Connect the IDE and power cables to the new hard disk drive.
11. Replace the front bezel and side panel.
Configuring the new drive
Before you can use your new hard disk drive, it will have to be configured, partitioned and
formatted from the operating system. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
To configure the disk drive:
1. While booting the computer, press F2 to enter the setup utility.
2. Select Autoconfiguration.
Setup automatically selects the optimal drive settings for maximum capacity and
performance, and assigns drive letters. The original drive is C:, and the second drive is drive
D:.
If the operating system is unable to configure the drive automatically, you can define the
drive settings manually.
To determine which settings to use, refer to the new drive's documentation.
Write down the drive type and settings (cylinders/ heads/ sectors) of your existing drive for future
reference, or in case you inadvertently change this information.
