INSTALLING A HARD DISK DRIVE

The computer has an integrated SCSI controller and an integrated Enhanced IDE controller.

The Enhanced IDE controller supports up to four IDE devices:

two IDE devices can be connected to the Primary Channel cable (connected to the
grey connector on the system board)

two IDE devices can be connected to the Secondary Channel cable (connected to the
red connector on the system board)

The SCSI controller supports up to seven SCSI devices
(up to five SCSI devices can be connected to the internal SCSI cable).

Before Installing an IDE Hard Disk

Refer to the drive’s installation guide to see if you must set jumpers or if there is a special
installation procedure to follow.

Before Installing a SCSI Hard Disk

If you are installing an additional SCSI drive you must select a SCSI address for the new drive.
SCSI addresses range from 0 to 7, with SCSI address 0 used by the first SCSI drive and SCSI
address 7 reserved for the integrated SCSI controller.

NOTE

You don’t need to select a SCSI address for Plug and
Play SCSI hard disks (SCSI hard disks which support
the SCAM protocol).
