Installing a Second IDE Hard Drive

By Mark Kyrnin, About.com Guide

The drive is now ready to be placed into the drive cage. Some cases will use a removable cage that makes it easier to install. Simply slide the drive into the cage so that the mounting holes on the drive match up to the holes on the cage. Fasten down the drive to the cage with screws.
