I'm not sure it has a normal IDE connector, though. It may only have a laptop CD-ROM IDE connector. If you don't have the CD-ROM and can't find an ordinary 40-pin IDE connector on the mainboard, you'll have to boot it over the network to install. This is slightly documented by me and alm@sirius.net.au in two posts to this list dated 2005-07-27.
