How do I set cable select? Where is it set?

According to documentation,

"Disk Controllers
· HP Vectra VL 5/xx series 3 PC
The integrated flexible disk controller supports two flexible disk
drives. The integrated
Enhanced IDE hard disk controller is on the PCI bus and dedicated for
hard disk drives.
This is the grey connector on the system board. The cable has two
connectors, allowing
two Fast IDE hard disks to be connected.
The second IDE controller is on the ISA bus and is dedicated to CD-ROM
drives. This is the
red connector on the system board. The cable has one connector allowing
one CD-ROM to
be connected.

· HP Vectra VE 5/xx PC
The integrated flexible disk controller supports two flexible disk
drives. The integrated
Enhanced IDE hard disk controller is on the PCI bus and dedicated for
hard disk drives.
This is the grey connector on the system board. The cable has two
connectors, allowing
two Fast IDE hard disks to be connected."

My computer only has one IDE connector. So it looks like the VE 5/75
doesn't support a CD-ROM, the HP Vectra VL 5/xx series 3 PC does.

I also discovered that memory can go up to 128MB. It only has 16MB
now.If I were to use this computer, I'd want to make an investment.
