Where do you put hard drive?

The hard drive fits inside the computer tower (or inside the case of a laptop). In the case of a desktop computer, you will need to remove the side of the case and find and empty bay (3.5 inches wide) in which to slot the hard drive. In most cases it will be held in by four screws, but some cases are designed with sliders that screw to the hard drive first, then allow it to be slotted into place. The hard drive needs two connections, one for power and one for data. The power connector comes from the power supply and the data cable links directly to the motherboard (or, in some cases, from a card slotted into the board). If you are using an IDE connection (a wide connector with 40 pins on the drive) you will need to set the jumpers on the drive. There should be a diagram on the top of the drive to help you with this. Inserting and removing hard drives in this way should only be done when the computer is switched off.
