Hard
Drive
-On
the back of the
Hard Drive we
will see a power
connector and a
jumper. The
jumper is to set
the drive as a
Master or a
Slave. If we are
running one Hard
Drive we will
want to set this
as a Master.
Simply take the
jumper and set
to the pins that
note it as a
master. Real
simple just look
at the back of
drive. Pins are
in a vertical
fashion. Set
jumper over pins
and we are ready
to slide in.
-This
is pretty easy.
In the case we
will see most of
the time a place
that is marked
HDD and FDD.
This means Hard
Drive and Floppy
Drive. If we
have a ATX
minitower the
hard drive will
more than likely
install on the
bottom drive bay
of the case.
This is so on
most modern
towers. we will
want to install
the drive by
sliding it in
the bay with
connectors
facing the back
of computer.
With Hard Drive
installed simply
take at least
four screws and
snug it down.
Floppy
-This
is about the
same as Hard
Drive. You will
not have to
worry about the
jumper setting
though. Simple
slide the floppy
in through the
front of case in
you desired
spot. Make sure
that the front
of drive is
flush with case.
This is purely
for cosmetic
reason only.
Tighten floppy
down from the
inside of case.
CD-ROM
-This
one is about the
same as rest but
you will have a
jumper on this
one also. We
will want to set
this drive as a
slave rather
than a master.
Simply move
jumper over to
the slave
position and
your ready to
install. We will
later take the
same ribbon and
hood it to the
hard drive and
the CD-ROM. This
will let us use
one connection
on the
motherboard and
utilize two
drives.Again
make sure that
the CD-ROM is
nice and flush
with front of
case for
cosmetic
reasons.
