You must get a network adapter. I think it says HDD on the back.

It's easy:

Buy a Network adapter
Buy a Hard Drive (Or clear an old one) Make sure its a 3.5

Step 1:
Put the hard Drive in the Drive bay.
Then Place on the Network adapter, and tightly screw it to the PS2

Step 2(Optional):
Buy HDAdvance 3.0 so you can rip Games to the Hard-drive:
Rip Games to Hard-Drive
PS: You can't Play copies or Homebrew
-OR-
Buy a modchip and play copies from DVD/CD or Hard Drive or:
Rip games to Hard-drive
Play Homebrew

BTW, Modchips can be illegal if used to play copies, of coarse we all use them to play "Homebrew" :P
