486MBS Series Manual
Installing Peripheral Cables
Begin with the top of the 486MBS Series system working left to right. Now it is a good time to
install the internal peripherals such as floppy and hard disk drives. Do not connect the power cable
to these peripherals as it is easier to attach the bulky ribbon cables before the smaller power con-
nectors. If you are installing more than one IDE drive double check your master/slave jumpers on
the drives. Review the information supplied with your drive for more information on this subject.
Connect the floppy cable (not included) to the system board. Then connect remaining ends of the
ribbon cable to the appropriate peripherals.
Finally, connect the IDE cable (not included) to the system. Then connect remaining ends of the
ribbon cable to the appropriate peripherals. This concludes the hardware installation of your 486MBS
system. Now it is a good time to re-check all of the cable connections to make sure they are correct.
It is also a good idea to label each of the external peripheral connectors - COM1, COM2, Mouse
and Parallel.
