Note

If you remove one IDE hard disk drive and are leaving

another one in the system, you must set the jumpers on

the remaining drive to indicate that you have only one

IDE drive installed. Remove the other drive following

steps 1 and 2, above; then see page 7-4 or the

documentation that came with your hard disk drive for

instructions on setting the jumpers.

3. If you removed your only IDE hard disk drive, remove the

hard disk drive cable from its connector on the main system

board. First remove the cable from the clasp on the left side

of the subassembly. Then disconnect the cable from the

main system board connector.

drive, see “Connecting the Cables,” below.

you removed):

1. Position the drive so its mounting screw holes face the

outside of the drive bay and its power supply and drive

connectors face the front of the subassembly, as shown in

the following illustration. Then lower the drive into the bay.
