Drives
Your computer supports a combination of these devices:
• Up to two serial ATA hard drives
• One FlexBay drive (may contain an optional floppy drive or an optional Media Card Reader)
• Up to two CD or DVD drives
Connect CD/DVD drives to the connector labeled "IDE1" on the system board. Serial ATA hard drives
should be connected to the connectors labeled "SATA0" or "SATA2" on the system board.
IDE Drive Addressing
When you connect two IDE devices to a single IDE interface cable and configure them for the cable
select setting, the device attached to the last connector on the interface cable is the master or boot
device (drive 0), and the device attached to the middle connector on the interface cable is the slave
device (drive 1). See the drive documentation in your upgrade kit for information on configuring devices
for the cable select setting.
