INSTALLING MASS STORAGE DEVICES
You can install additional mass storage devices, if you need extra mass storage space for your
application software.
The PC has one internal drive shelf for a hard disk drive. If your PC already has a hard disk
drive, this shelf will be occupied.
There are three front access drive shelves. The top shelf is occupied by a 3.5-inch flexible disk
drive. The middle shelf can be used to install a 5.25-inch flexible disk drive or a CD-ROM
drive. The bottom shelf can be used to install a 1-inch high, 5.25-inch or 3.5-inch front access
device, or to install a second hard disk drive internally.
Your PC has the following connectors on the system board which can be used by mass storage
devices:
• a flexible disk drive connector, which supports up to two flexible disk drives
• two Enhanced IDE device connectors.
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.
CONFIGURING A DEVICE AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing a second IDE drive or a flexible disk drive, you will need to run the
Setup
program to configure the device. Refer to “The HP Setup Program” (chapter 4) for details of
how to do this.
CONNECTING IDE DEVICES
There are three data cables inside your PC. Two of these are for IDE devices:
• The first cable is marked “HDD” next to the system board attachment. It has two drive
connectors. The middle connector of this data cable must be connected to the bootable or
master hard disk drive.
• The second data cable has only one drive connector. It is red and marked “CD-ROM” next
to the system board attachment.
