2 How to Install Accessories In Your PC
Installing Mass Storage Devices
Installing Mass Storage Devices
You can install additional mass storage devices, if you need extra mass
storage space for your application software.
NOTE You can install a non-IDE hard disk drive or CD-ROM device, but it will
need an accessory board and driver software (usually supplied with the
device). Contact the product vendor for further information.
Connecting IDE Devices
There are three data cables inside your PC. Two of these are for IDE
devices:
• The first cable is marked “HDD” and has two drive connectors for
connecting hard disk drives. The end connector of this data cable
must be connected to the bootable or master hard disk drive.
• The second data cable is marked “CD-ROM” and has two drive
connectors. This cable can be used for a CD-ROM drive, a Zip drive,
or a third hard disk drive.
