Applicable to: United States, Canada, Japan, Italy, United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, Hong Kong, Denmark, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Australia, Finland

Up to four IDE drive devices (hard disk, CD/DVD-ROM, or Zip drives) can be installed in Service Level A systems. If any drives do not show in the Installed Devices list in the Setup Utility, ensure the jumper settings and connectors are set as shown here. Refer to "System Board Layout Type A-1" on page 5-2 and "System Board Layout Type A-2" on page 5-5 for connector location information.

Primary Hard Disk Drive IDE Local Bus Connector

At the primary hard disk drive IDE connector, make sure the first drive installed is set as the master drive ( 1 in the following figures).

Note: If a second drive is installed, it must be attached to the secondary IDE connector. Set the jumpers as the slave drive ( 2 in the following figures).

All recovery preloaded software should be installed on the master hard disk drive on the primary connector.

Secondary Hard Disk Drive Connector

If additional drives are connected to the secondary hard disk drive connector, set the first drive connected to this connector as the master drive ( 1 in the following figures). If a second drive is connected to the secondary hard disk drive connector, set the jumpers as the slave drive ( 2 in the following figures). Ensure all software is set to recognize all installed drives. If an additional hard disk drive is connected to the secondary connector, it must be set as the master drive, 1 , and the CD/DVD-ROM drive jumpers reset as the slave drive.

Note: Check the Setup Utility for correct installation:

Hard Disk 1 Master drive
Hard Disk 2 Slave drive
Hard Disk 3 Master drive (CD/DVD-ROM if other drive not connected to this connector. Also, Zip drive with internal Zip drive models)
Hard Disk 4 Slave drive (CD/DVD-ROM if hard disk or internal Zip drive installed at secondary connector, Hard Disk 3)

For jumper settings, match your hard disk drive to one of the following figures.

1 = Master Drive 2 = Slave Drive
