10. If you installed an IDE hard disk drive, go to step 11
Ifyou installed a 5.25-inch diskette drive, connect it to the
appropriate type of free connector on the diskette drive
cable. This cable is connected to the main system board
interface J851. (See the main system board map in Chapter 4
to locate this interface.) Then go to step 12.
If you installed a different type of drive (not an IDE hard
disk drive or a diskette drive), see the manufacturer’s
instructions to connect the drive cable to the drive and the
appropriate controller interface.
11. Connect the hard disk drive cable to the IDE1 interface on
the main system board (see the map on page 4-4). Be sure to
align pin 1 on the cable with pin 1 on the board.
Some drives require cabling between the drive and an
expansion board. If your drive requires this, you need to
route the cable over the top of the riser card.
12. Connect the appropriate power supply connector to the
drive.
13. If you secured the drive in the upper bay using the holes
that are the closest to the front of the computer, you must
reinstall the computer’s power switch assembly that you
removed earlier. Insert the assembly into its hole in the
computer’s front panel making sure the two tabs on the
assembly rest on the bottom of the hole. Secure the switch
and its grounding wire with the retaining screw. See the
illustration on page 5-11.
14. Replace the 3.5-inch drive carrier in the computer; see
page 5-6.
15. Replace the computer’s cover; see Chapter 4.
