3. Installing the
PX-716SA Internal SATA Drive
This section explains how to physically install your PX-716SA internal
Serial ATA drive in your computer. The steps are as follows:
1. Turn OFF your computer system.
2. Mount the drive into an available drive bay inside the computer
system.
3. Make the cabling connections: Serial ATA cable and power cable.
4. Turn your computer system ON.
The following pages give more details for this procedure.
NOTE: Your computer’s SATA connection must support the ATAPI
command set. Some computer motherboards have SATA RAID
(Redundant Array of Independent Discs) chipsets that do not support the
ATAPI command set used by optical disc drives, or that do not have
BIOS settings to enable IDE/ATAPI functions. If you are unsure, consult
your motherboard manual or vendor web site for compatibility, BIOS
versions, and BIOS settings. And check the Plextor PX-716SA
motherboard compatibility listing at
