How do I add an IDE device to an existing SCSI-based Dell™ Precision™ Workstation?

Discussion

This article contains step-by-step instructions to install an IDE device to an existing SCSI system for both the x10 and x20 models of Precision Workstations.

CAUTION: Before you perform any of the following steps, read the Precautionary Measures warning for your personal safety and to prevent damage to the computer system from electrostatic discharge.

Solution

Section 1: Jumper the IDE Drive

Properly jumper the drive for master, slave, or cable select. Refer to the hardware documentation for the IDE device you are attempting to install for jumper information.

 

Section 2: Install the IDE Drive

Power the system off and disconnect the power cord from the back of the system. Open the system case.
Install the drive into an available drive bay.
For more information, refer to the links below for installing the device in the system type you have.

NOTE: If the link for your system does not work, refer to the To Find Your System's Online Documentation section, below.

Determine the appropriate IDE controller. For a detailed lay out of the system board, refer to the appropriate link below.
If the IDE device you are installing is a hard drive, it is recommended that you connect it to the Primary IDE Controller.
For all other devices (CD-ROM, CD-RW, ZIP), it is recommended that you connect them to the Secondary IDE Controller.
If possible, connect hard drives and other devices on separate IDE Controllers.

NOTE: If the link for your system does not work, refer to the To Find Your System's Online Documentation section, below.

Once you have determined which IDE Controller to use, connect the device to the appropriate connector on the IDE cable for the appropriate IDE Controller. For a device configured as master, use the connector on the end of the IDE cable.
For a device configured as slave, use the middle connector on the IDE cable. For a device configured as cable select, the position on the cable will determine whether the device is a master or a slave. For ease of configuration, if the device is the only device on the chain and is configured as cable select; connect the device to the end connector of the IDE cable.
For any additional cabling questions, refer to the hardware documentation provided by the manufacturer of the device.
For Dell components, refer to the To Find Your System's Online Documentation section below and search by Component rather than by System.
Connect a power cable to the device.

Section 3: Configure the System Setup

Plug the power cord back into the system and power the system on.
During the POST (Power On Self Test), while the progress indicator is moving, the message F2 = Setup should appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Press the key.
The message Entering Setup should appear.
The system will continue to complete the POST and load the SCSI Setup. After the SCSI Setup loads, the system should enter the System Setup.

NOTE: If the system did not enter the System Setup, reboot the system and repeat step 2.

Determine which IDE Channels must be enabled. The System Setup displays the Primary IDE Drive 0 and 1, and Secondary IDE Drive 0 and 1. Drive 0 is the master and Drive 1 is the slave on the specified IDE Controller. Each controller is a channel and you must enable each drive (0 and 1) that you intend to use on a specific channel. In addition, you must enable the IDE Interface. The settings that must be enabled will be determined by the jumper configurations and cabling choices you made in the prior steps.
To enable the appropriate drive (0 or 1) on the IDE Channel and the IDE Interface, proceed to the following section for your specific system type:

210 and 410 Models

To enable the appropriate drive (0 or 1) on the IDE Channel and the IDE Interface, perform the following steps:

On Page 1 of the System Setup, press the key to highlight the specific drive (0 or 1) for the IDE Channel you must enable.
Press the key to change the option to Auto.
Press the +

keys at the same time to move to Page 2.
Press the key to highlight IDE Hard Disk.
Press the key to change the option to Auto.
Press the + keys at the same time to reboot your system.

610, 220, 420, and 620 Models

To enable the appropriate drive (0 or 1) on the IDE Channel and the IDE Interface, perform the following steps:

In the System Setup, press the key to highlight the specific drive (0 or 1) for the IDE Channel you must enable and press the key.
Press the key to highlight Auto and press the key.
Press the key to highlight Integrated Devices and press the key.
Press the key to highlight IDE Interface and then press the key to change the option to Auto.
Press the key.
The main System Setup menu should reappear.
Press the + keys at the same time to reboot your system.

Additional Notes and Troubleshooting

If you receive any error messages after you reboot your system, one of the following may be the problem:

You may have enabled the incorrect drive on the IDE Channel in the System Setup.
The IDE Controller cable and the power connections may not be firmly seated.

CAUTION: Before you perform any of the following steps, read the Precautionary Measures warning for your personal safety and to prevent damage to the computer system from electrostatic discharge.

Unplug the power from the system and reseat the connections to the device you have just installed.
Confirm that you have used the correct jumper settings for each device connected to each of the IDE cables.

To Find Your System's Online Documentation

Navigate to the following URL: http://support.dell.com/>.
If necessary, configure your Support page.
Enter your system Service Tag or select your Dell system model (type) and click Go!.

NOTE: Your system Service Tag is located on a white sticker with a barcode on the back or bottom (for portables) of the system unit.

In the Support Tools, Fix-It section, locate the Dell Documents or the Your System Documentation link and click it.
Click Graphics, and then click Removing and Replacing Parts.

NOTE: Depending on your system type, Graphics may not appear as an option. Search the available categories for the link to Removing and Replacing Parts.

Be certain to read the Precautionary Measures and then perform the steps for the appropriate procedure.

Precautionary Measures

Before you perform any of the procedures in this document, read the following caution for your personal safety and to prevent damage to the system from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

CAUTION FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT.

Before you start to work on the system, perform the following steps in the sequence listed:

Turn off your computer and all devices.
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface at the back of the computer before touching anything inside your computer.

While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.
Disconnect the power cable to your computer, and then press the power button to ground the system board.
Disconnect any devices connected to the computer, including the monitor, from their electrical outlets to reduce the potential for personal injury or shock. Also, disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.
After you remove or replace parts in the system, observe the following notice to prevent damage to the system:

NOTICE: Make sure that all other system cables are connected before connecting the computer to its electrical outlet.
