IBM Personal Computer User Guide
If you are installing a second drive to the primary IDE connector, follow
these guidelines:
1. Set the new drive as the slave device. See the instructions that were provided
with the new drive.
2. Install the new drive and connect the new drive to the spare connector on the
cable attached to the primary IDE connector (labelled J4 on the system
board, if the machine type of your system is 2196; labelled J11 on the system
board, if the machine type of your system is 2197 or 6344).
If you are installing a second drive to the secondary IDE connector, follow these
guidelines:
1. Replace the IDE signal cable attached to the secondary IDE connector
(labelled J5 on the system board, if the machine type of your system is 2196;
labelled J12 on the system board, if the machine type of your system is 2197
or 6344) with an IDE cable that has two drive connectors.
2. Set the jumper on the new drive to master or slave, depending on the
following conditions:
– If the factory-installed drive is a CD-ROM drive (or any drive type other
than a hard disk drive), and the drive you are installing is a hard disk drive,
set the new drive as the master device. Then, set the factory-installed drive
as a slave device. Jumpers for setting drives as master or slave devices
are typically located at the back of the drive.
– If the factory-installed drive is a hard disk drive, set the new drive as a
slave drive.
3. Install the new drive.
