Adding or replacing the internal EIDE data disk drive
This section describes how to add or replace the internal EIDE data disk drive in the Ultra 5
computer. The optional drive, together with hardware and a new ribbon cable, is packaged
separately from the Ultra 5 computer.
Note:
Note: In the following procedures, the disk drive that is already installed in the
Ultra 5 computer is referred to as the primary drive, and the new drive that
you install is referred to as the secondary drive.
Unpacking the disk drive
Remove the following items from the box that contains the secondary data disk drive and
place them in a convenient location:
● EIDE disk drive
● Mounting bracket
● Four pan head screws
● New EIDE ribbon cable
The new disk drive comes with two ribbon cables. The cable used with the Ultra 5 has
three connectors labeled SLAVE, MASTER, and MOTHERBOARD. The other cable
may be discarded.
