Toreducethepossibilityofelectrostaticdischarge,observethefollowing precautions:

v _Limit_your _movement._Movement_can _cause_static_electricity _to_build_up_around you.

v _Handle_the_device_carefully,_holding_it _by_its_edges_or _its_frame. v _Do_not_touch_solder_joints,_pins,_or_exposed_circuitry.

Your serverusescablesto connectIDEandSCSIdevicesto thepowersupply and to thesystemboard.(See“System-boardinternalconnectors”onpage7 forthe locationofsystem-boardconnectors.)Reviewthefollowinginformationbefore connecting powerandsignal cablestointernaldrives:

v _The_drives_that_are_preinstalled_in_your_server_come_with_power_and_signal_cables attached.If youreplaceanydrives,rememberwhichcableisattachedto which drive.

v _When_you_install_a _drive,_ensure_that_one_of_the_drive_connectors _of_the_signal cableisconnectedto thedriveandthattheconnectorattheotherendofthe signalcableisconnected tothesystemboard.

v _The_server_has_two _IDE_buses,_primary_and_secondary. _Each_of_these_buses supportsuptotwo IDEdevices.TheprimaryIDEbususesconnectorIDE1on thesystemboardandthesecondaryIDEbususesconnectorIDE2.

v _If_you_have _only_one_IDE_device_on_a_cable,_it _must_be_set_as_a _master_device. v _If_two_IDE_devices_are_used_on_a_single_cable,_one_must_be_designated_as_the
