Determining IDE Connections
The following table explains which data connectors to use when you
install IDE devices. All the IDE devices are jumpered Cable Select at the
factory. This means that Master and Slave configurations are determined
by the device position on the IDE cable:
• The device attached to the connector closest to the system board is
the Slave.
• The device attached to the connector farthest from the system board
is the Master.
Removing a CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD
To remove an optical device:
1. Turn off the display and shut down the Workstation. Disconnect all
power cables and any LAN or telecommunications cables.
2. Remove the Workstation’s cover and front bezel (see page 145) for
instructions).
3. Disconnect the power, data, and audio cables from the old drive.
4. Remove the drive by pressing the two front rail clips inward and
sliding the drive out the front of the chassis.
5. Remove the guide rails by gently prying them off the drive. These
guide rails are required for the new drive.
