Step 4. Mounting the drive in the bay
You can mount the Slimline drive in the computer either horizontally or
vertically. If you mount the drive vertically, you must secure any CDs you
place into the drive before you close the drive tray, or the Slimline drive will
not be able to read the CD properly. For further instructions on securing your
CDs in a vertically mounted drive, see "Loading a CD" on page 1-10.
If your system does not have an optical drive,
1. Remove any bezels from the drive bay.
2. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have specific required
procedures for installing storage devices. Refer to the documentation that
came with your computer for further instructions.
Step 5. Attaching the cables to the drive
Connect the cables to the Slimline drive as follows:
1. Attach combo cable connector to the IDE connector on the drive. Use the
combo cable provided with this option if there is no cable attached to the
IDE port or if there is only one device connector on the IDE cable. If you
use the included IDE cable, attach one end of the cable to your system
board IDE port or to your IDE adapter, and the other end of the IDE cable
to the Slimline drive.
2. Set master/slave jumper on the system board. Refer to your system manual
for details.
Step 6. Completing the hardware installation
To complete the hardware installation, do the following:
1. Be sure that the drive is securely mounted and the connectors are firmly
attached.
2. Be sure the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and do not
block the power-supply fan blades or air-flow paths.
3. Reinstall the computer cover.
