drive front panel and 2 cm

from the drive base.

5. Connect the IDE cable to the IDE

interface at the back of the

drive. Match the red stripe on

the cable with Pin 1 on the IDE

interface.

6. Connect the optical drive audio

cable to the 4-pin connector at

the back of the optical drive.

To install an optical drive:

1. Remove the front panel assembly following the instructions in section

“2.3.2 Removing the front panel assembly.”

The IDE and audio plugs are pre-connected to the primary IDE and

internal audio connectors on the motherboard. If you disconnected these

plugs, refer to page 4-4 and 4-6 for their respective locations.

If you plan to install an IDE hard disk drive, set the optical drive as a

slave device before installing it to the system. Refer to the optical drive

documentation for details on how to set the drive as slave device.
