When you will install the drives into the front expansion bays, carry
out the following procedures.
■
Insert the drive into the front expansion bay.
■ Fix the drive with two mounting screws.
4. Check the existing connections.
The motherboard has two IDE connectors: a primary device connector
and a secondary device connector. The primary device connector is
used for hard disk drives; the computer’s existing hard disk drive is
attached to this connector. The secondary device connector is used
for devices in the front expansion bays; the computer’s CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM or CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive (if you have one) is attached to
this connector.
To locate and identify the connectors, see Motherboard.
5. Locate an available IDE device connector.
• Primary device connector- Locate the extra IDE device connector
on the IDE cable that is attached to the back of the existing hard
disk drive. You will be connecting the new device to this
connector.
• Secondary device connector- If your computer has a CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM, or CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive installed, use the extra
connector on the IDE cable that is attached to the back of the CD-
ROM, DVD-ROM or CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. You will be connecting
the new device to this connector.
6. Locate an available power supply connector.
You will be connecting the new drive to this connector.
7. Unpack your device kit and check that it is complete.
When you add a new device to an IDE connector that controls an existing
device, you must configure one device as the “master” and the other
device as the “slave.” Toshiba recommends that you configure the new
device as the “slave.”
8. If you are connecting the device to the same IDE connector as an
existing device, follow the device manufacturer’s instructions to
configure the new device’s jumpers so that it will act as a slave
device.
A pair of tweezers makes the job of moving tiny jumper shunts much
easier.
9. If you are installing the device in a front expansion bay, remove the
device spacekeeper faceplate. Insert and fasten the new device into
its chassis location.
• If you are installing the device in a front expansion bay, fasten it to
the chassis with two screws on the right side. No screws are
necessary on the left side.
