Hard Disk Drives
This section describes how to install and remove your Personal
Workstation’s hard disk drives. There is also a section on how to
complete your hard disk drive installation.
Your Personal Workstation can have a maximum of three internal SCSI
hard disk drives installed in the Personal Workstation. Two drives can
be installed in the internal shelves of the hard disk drive bay area, and
one of the hard disk drives can be install in an empty shelf of the CD
drive bay area. You can only install a maximum of two IDE hard disk
drive in the Personal Workstation, and both of these hard disk drives
must be installed in the hard disk drive bay area. The IDE cable for the
IDE hard disk drive must be connected to the primary IDE connector on
the system board. Note that IDE and SCSI hard disk drives cannot be
mixed.
For the purpose of this discussion, the SCSI and IDE cables will be called
the interface cables.
NOTE The hard disk drive guide rails are color coded blue. They are located on
the chassis of the CD drive bay area.
CAUTION Hard disk drives are susceptible to mechanical and electrical shock.
When handling the drive, always wear the static-grounding strap that
came with the hard disk drive kit. Always handle the drive carefully.
