2 How to Install Accessories In Your PC
Installing Mass Storage Devices
Up to three IDE devices can be connected to the system board using
these data cables.(Refer to the storage device’s manual to check
whether you need to set jumpers, or if there are any special installation
procedures.)
Jumper Settings Refer to the IDE drive’s manual to see if you must set jumpers. The drive
jumper should be set to “cable select”.
Configuring an IDE Device After Installation
After installing a second IDE drive, or after installing any flexible disk
drive, you will need to verify that your PC has correctly identified the
new configuration, by viewing the HP Summary Screen. Refer to the
page 66. If the configuration is not correct, run the Setup program to
configure the device. Refer to “HP Setup Program” on page 66.
IDE drives are automatically detected by the Setup program. However,
a newly installed CD-ROM may require that you install an appropriate
device driver. Refer to your operating system documentation for
details. For information on how to obtain the latest available drivers
from HP, refer to page 73.
