Double the hard disk installation diagram
A, determine the connection scheme
IDE devices (such as hard disk, and cd-rom and so on) can use a set of jumper wire to determine after installation of the main plate (Master, MA), from the disk (Slave, SL) state. If an IDE cable connected to two IDE equipment, it must also were the two IDE equipment set to a plate, and the other is a state from the plate. So, after installation to normal use.
If the IDE cable on only take only IDE equipment, no matter the IDE equipment mainly is to set the original disk or from disk state, do not need to this only IDE equipment reset jumper.
Usually will performance is good new hard drive up in article 1 IDE cable, mainly as a dish, hard disk boot guide. As for the old hard disk, there are several connection:
1. Two hard disk joint in the same root hard disk data cable, the second hard disk should be set to from the plate.
2. The second hard disk joint in the second IDE interface, if the interface of the data is only a hard disk, and cd-rom didn't answer, then the second hard disk don't have to jump line; If the cable is on a cd-rom, the second cd-rom disk and one of the set is given priority to plate, and the other a set to from the plate, it's up to you to decide.
Second, the setup disk jumpers
Sure good hard disk connection scheme, will set hard disk jump line. General can be in hard disk IDE interface and power interface found between by 3 ~ 5 column jumpers. No matter what hard disk, the jumper Settings, can be roughly divided into the main dish, from disk and Cable selection (Cable Select) three. Hard drive factory default value is mainly a dish, so if the hard drive is a dish, general need not set jump line.
Three, installation disk and data cable
Open the case, the hard disk into the chassis 3.5 inch installation frame, and screws, will first IDE cable not end insert old hard disk IDE interface, the IDE cable end insert the new hard disk IDE interface. Moreover, the IDE cable Pin1 (that is, red edge) must and hard disk and IDE interface Pin1 connected. Finally then trapezoidal four needles power plug to hard disk outlet.
The IDE cable received motherboard IDE slot, also will the IDE cable red edge alignment IDE slot Pin1. Generally speaking, the main board will have two IDE slot, 80 needle or forty needle IDE the other end of the cable into the motherboard first IDE in the slot.
If a motherboard and hard disk support ATA 66/100/133, so be sure to use 80 needle IDE cable. Otherwise, if use and needle IDE cable words (i.e., and drive of the data the same), will influence the hard drive transmission rate.
Four, the setting of the CMOS parameters
For new motherboard, it usually automatic detection hard disk parameters, that is to say as long as the hard disk installed correctly, there is no need to set CMOS. For some old motherboard, it may need to manually set up.
Start the computer, click "Del" button to enter CMOS Setup program main menu, select "IDE HDD Auto Detection (IDE hard disk drive automatic Detection)" and press enter, you can see the first and second hard drive all parameters, including capacity, cylindrical number, head count, sectors, work mode and so on. Test results show that the double hard disk installation and setup has successfully. Press the "Esc" button, return to the main menu, And press the shortcut key "F10" or select "Save And Exit Setup (Save Exit)". Exit CMOS Setup program, will restart the computer, if the power on self test, can detect the hard disk parameters that have the success of the installation.
On the hard disk with Fdisk to partition and Format for hard disk partition of the Format. But in to format the hard disk when must pay attention to "plate character staggered" problem. Such as the new hard disk has been divided into three area, formatting D disk, mustn't input "format D:", but to input "format E:", otherwise will only formatting old hard disk C. Recommend the new hard disk format before don't articulated old hard drive, can avoid this problem.
Install double hard disk process is simple, as long as careful, generally can be successfully completed. If the motherboard is old, installation double hard disk after, appear in the power on self when he might crash, lock, or hard disk capacity display error wait for a phenomenon, so probably meet the legendary hard disk capacity limit problem.
