5. Attach your tape drive to the secondary IDE port.
Are any other devices attached to your second-
ary IDE port?
• If you already have a CD-ROM or other device
attached to your secondary IDE port, attach
the tape drive to the middle connector on the
IDE cable, as shown in Figure 7.
Note. Do
not attach your tape drive to a cable
that is already being used by a hard disc
or a sound card.
• If no other devices are attached to your
secondary IDE port, use a new 40-pin IDE
cable to attach the tape drive to the second-
ary IDE port, as shown in Figure 8.
In either case, make sure that pin 1 on the tape
drive (located next to the power connector) is
connected to pin 1 on the IDE cable and on the
IDE port connector. Pin 1 on the IDE cable is
indicated by a stripe on the edge of the cable.
