10. If it is not already connected, connect the other end of the EIDE cable to the IDE1 connector on the system board.

NOTICE: You must match the colored strip on the EIDE cable with pin 1 on the IDE1 connector to avoid possible damage

to your system.

To locate the IDE1 connector, see Figure 8 in "Inside Your Computer."

11. Replace the computer cover. Then reconnect your computer and peripherals to their power sources, and turn them on.

12. If the drive you just installed is the primary drive, insert a bootable diskette into drive A.

13. Enter System Setup, and update Primary Drive 0 or Primary Drive 1.

After you update the System Setup settings, reboot the system.

14. Partition and logically format your drive before proceeding to the next step.

See the documentation for your operating system for instructions.

15. Test the hard-disk drive by running the Dell Diagnostics.

16. If the drive you just installed is the primary drive, install your operating system on the hard-disk drive.

Refer to the documentation that came with your operating system.

Installing SCSI Devices

This section describes how to configure and install small computer system interface (SCSI) devices in your system. To install a SCSI device, you

must have a SCSI controller card installed in your system.

SCSI Configuration Guidelines

Up to two SCSI hard-disk drives can be installed in the hard-disk drive bracket. Although you install SCSI devices essentially the same way as

other devices, their configuration requirements are different. For details on configuring your particular SCSI subsystem, refer to the documentation

for your SCSI devices and/or your host adapter card. The following subsections offer some general guidelines.

SCSI ID Numbers

Internal SCSI devices must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15.

When SCSI devices are shipped from Dell, the default SCSI ID numbers for the primary and secondary controllers are assigned as follows:

l SCSI controller: SCSI ID 7

l Boot SCSI hard-disk drive: SCSI ID 0

l SCSI CD-ROM drive: SCSI ID 5

l SCSI tape or digital audio tape (DAT) drive: SCSI ID 6

NOTE: Dell does not support mixing SCSI and EIDE hard-disk drives in the same system. If your system contains any EIDE hard-disk

drives, do not install SCSI hard-disk drives.
