Option Installation 3-21
Device Preparation
Before you install a storage device in the system, follow any preinstallation instructions that
come with the device.
For example, check the following items for these devices:
n
Diskette drive
remove any termination on the optional diskette drive. See the
documentation that comes with the drive.
n
IDE device
check the jumper settings on the device before you install it. See
the documentation that comes with the device for jumper setting information.
An IDE device, such as an IDE hard disk or IDE CD-ROM reader, must be set
correctly as the first (master) or second (slave) device on the IDE channel.
The standard IDE hard disk (in hard disk models) is set as the master device on
the primary IDE connector. The CD-ROM reader in multimedia models is the
master device on the secondary IDE connector.
n
SCSI device
check the jumper settings on the device before you install it. See
the documentation that comes with the device for jumper setting information.
Each SCSI device must have a SCSI ID number set for the device. The SCSI
adapter board can have as many as fifteen devices connected to the board (internal
and external). The last device on the internal and external cable must be
terminated. The SCSI adapter board is set to SCSI ID number 7 and the internal
SCSI drive is set to SCSI ID number 0.
Device Cables
The following optional storage device cables are included with the system:
n
Diskette Drive Signal Cable
n
IDE Signal Cable
n
SCSI Signal Cable (SCSI configurations)
n
System Power Cables.
The existing diskette drive and hard disk cables each support two devices. Cable connector
locations on the system board for storage devices are shown in the following figure.
