Hard Disk Drives

Your system supports a variety of optional IDE or SCSI hard disks. Contact your sales
representative or dealer for a list of approved devices. The internal hard disk drives are located in
the 3.5-inch drive bay.
If you are adding or removing an IDE hard disk device, consider the following:
n The system board supports a primary and secondary IDE channel connector. Each of these
supports two devices, for a total of four IDE devices.
n A first (master) device and a second (slave) device are supported on both the primary and
secondary IDE connector. The device configuration, master versus slave, is determined by
jumpers on the device. Cable Sense (CS) device configuration is not supported.
n Your system comes with a three-connector IDE cable connecting the CD-ROM and an optional
IDE device (either tape or the third hard disk) to the system board secondary connector. The
CD-ROM that comes with your system is set as the master device and the optional device is set
as the slave device on this connector.
